Really? Maybe I should get an old model as well, the build quality then was unmatched.

X201's are plentiful but most eBay auctions are missing the drive caddy, caddy cover, AC adapter or all of the above.

In that state you can get an i5 2.53ghz for ~$50 and the missing parts for maybe $25.

Newegg also has refurbs but I received one with a black textured sticker cut to fit the entire lid to hide damage. :/

It's a project but these things are beaters, at one point I wanted a "burner" chromebook and spent $100. :P

I usually don't mind getting a semi-beatup one as I can get the replacement plastics from China inexpensively, and its very easy to strip this model down and replace its parts.

Its not like they are expensive, my X201 cost £90.
