i had a 15.4" pos toshiba, and i beat it to death, broke a hinge, finally the motherboard crapped out

so im looking for smaller and tougher
budget is limited, unemployed ftl

i have found a handful of refurbished lenovo, dell, sony, etc... but they are all still in the $6-700 range for anything not 15.4"

really i dont do much that would require a full size laptop though, it would just be nice to have the option if i could find one in the price range

also i intend on building a htpc when i get the money, so a netbook would complement that nicely later on, but that is probably much later on h:
