I've bought 10+ laptops on craigslist with zero issues. It's fargo craigslist, you have like a .1% of getting screwed...no different than ebay...actually better than ebay because you can touch/use the item before you hand over the money. Craigslist is where the deals are these days...just lowball the shit out of people.
I'm not a computer guy so I wouldn't know what to look for. Not all issues come right away like shutting off after extended use stuff like that. I see your point though.

Best buy has some toshibas on sale. Hell, they had a L455 model for $299. They are normally $350, but I told them I saw it for $299 online and they gave it to me.

Thank you, I'm gonna check that out. I have a Toshiba now that's five years old and worked great til the usb's quit working.

i got the asus eeePC with win7 starter on it at best buy for $279. got it for my wife while she was stuck in the hospital.

it works great.

for not alot more you can get a normal screen (this one is 1024x600 which is a bit too short IMO)

I see the asus 12.1" screen, my eyes could probably handle that, and under $500.
