The laptop I am currently typing this on is literally broken in half. Like the screen has shorn off of the rest of it. It is not long for this world.

That being said, suggestions on where to get a new one for as little money as possible, since I don't have a job for another 3 weeks or so?

If I remember correctly, there were some computers in B/S/L recently...

A quick search turned up these, but I'm pretty sure there were others, too. Also, scope eBay, its a good place to get electronics for cheap.

Good luck with your search.

Hahaha that first listing is hilarious.

Yeah I know of ebay but it's a pretty bad idea to buy computers on there imho. Plus they don't go for that cheap anyway.

I'm thinking about getting a free one with a year of Telus internet, it sounds like a pretty good deal. if you're in Canada, scope it

you pay for an "Internet-anywhere" stick monthly for a year and the laptop comes with it. i haven't looked at specifics but it might be worth a shot.

^It might be a worthwhile investment, apparently I can hook everything up at once and if I got TV, internet, laptop and HD PVR for $65.00 / month altogether which is what they're telling me on the website I'm game. I'll have to call them though because that seems a little suspicious. The laptop is a G61 which is kind of a piece of crap (I can get one here for under 400 new in box) but it'll work, anyway.
