s/hand Toshiba R series. Around 2k in s/hand markets. Thin like the Airbook.

Decent enough, and you can up the ram in those to reasonable amounts.

getting it with a legit version XP instead of Vista will cost you some more cash too

Not necessary. Don't really need MS Windows. Try Ubuntu and install a copy of WINE, which you can run Windows programs within it
