Thread: Looking for a cheap laptop, certain constraints

-

so i'd cheap laptop given few constraints (in order of importance):

1) runs ubuntu less major hiccups.
2) costs less $400 before tax. (rebates included)
3) 4 gb ram
4) 64 bit processor, fast possible
5) 15-ish inch screen.
6) numeric keypad
7) webcam
8) decent rep not breaking (or if breaks, cheap , easy fix)

these fuzzy constraints, meaning i'll consider doesn't quite fit if else perfect.

(i found 1 that's pretty close, i'm not sure if number (1) applies: toshiba satellite c655d @ newegg...)

"cheap laptop" sounds nightmare already.
