1) Get chromebook
2) Install Linux
3) Profit
Except that any cheap chromebook is built around eMMC rather then a hard drive or ssd. Both Windows and Linux with a GUI will run terribly on such systems.

Thanks, but I don't need one that badly.
I'm surprised to hear that about Chromebooks, though. I know they used to be shit, but lately I've been hearing that they are pretty good for people who just need light usage, such as students for taking notes, etc.
I think there is a roadmap for chromeOS to be able to run Android apps, unless this is already the case? I don't have one but would pick one up on that basis
If you going to get an old thinkpad, at least find one with 4:3 aspect ratio.

Am I going to find a laptop much better than this in the $300-$400 range? My girlfriend is working a bunch of overtime this weekend to get it for herself, want to make sure she's getting a good deal.
