It may seem counterintuitive, but build-wise, black-friday laptop computers are just about the best you can get. Excellent examples are the Acer Aspire 3680 and 5315, which you can find “broken” for a good price, but usually just have smashed screens or busted power jacks, as opposed to high-end laptops that have poor BGA solder joints. I work on thousands of laptops each year, and the dirt-cheap $200 and $300 models are the most reliable bits of hardware. I buy them for myself whenever I can.
There’s also usually very little difference between the budget model and the high-end variant from the same company. The laptop in the article, for instance, will gladly take a $30 Core 2 Duo chip for a quick performance upgrade and battery life extension. It has the right components for a Core 2 Quad upgrade, but I’ve never tried it, so I can’t say for sure whether it would work.
