Best laptop under $1000 with XP?
 
I refuse to go to vista, I need a laptop, and I'd like to keep it under a grand.

Suggestions?

Picked this little fucker up at best buy a few months back for $349, couldn't pass it up...guess it was being discontinued:

Came with Vista and it was laughably slow...formatted the fucker and put xp on it (wasn't easy) and now it runs better than my desktop :)

what are you looking for? gaming matter? big screen? battery life? there is NOT a simple solution to this answer.

No matter the option I'd pop in a 320Gb 7200RPM drive in it after it comes ;) no reason for anything under 2Gb RAM either.
