If you go to office depot they have the IBM thinkpads on sale for right around $500... I have had 4 of them and never had a problem at all with any of them... The reason I have replaced the last 3 was kids broke the display on one, the first one was only a pII and was way out dated when I shelved it... and the third I sold to get the more updated one...
If you can spend alittle more money get the hard drive that is a chip instead of the old platters style it is way quicker and more stable....
If nothing else you can go on Ebay the day after christmas and get all the used ones that people are selling due to getting new ones for christmas.....

Since I know nothing about processors and all the other stuff in the specs, can someone tell me if this is a good setup? Is it fairly fast?
Processor Intel Core i3-370M Processor
Memory (RAM) 4GB
Memory Type DDR3
Memory Expandable to 8GB
Hard Drive Size 500GB
Hard Drive Type SATA

That sounds like a pretty good deal.

It should be able to do most of your needs really well. The hard drive is more than likely a 5400 RPM model, so getting the read/write access will be a bit slow, but most folks don't realize it unless they know what to look for.

Well when I got to Best Buy they had 2 of these computers left so I was able to snag one.
