I bought a $40 Dell Latitude E6400 without harddisk: - Core 2 Duo P8400, 2GB DDR2-800, 1280x800 screen - DVD-RW, battery, 130W power adapter - SATA interface for disk - keyboard is better than ThinkPad T43. A little heavier going down, but return is very crisp. This was main reason for buying it. I added SSD, and installed Windows-10 to see if all components are working. And, they were. Then, I decided to upgrade its old BIOS (from A14 to A34). Windows gave me error, and told me to reboot. Well, now, the laptop won't boot! So, it's free for anyone needing parts. I can bring it to next TLUG meeting. -- William
