Well, I haven't shopped much for used laptops, but from what I've seen of
the prices, you're better off watching the Sunday newspaper ads from the
big-box stores, and waiting for a bargain price on a new one. The
price/performance ratio I've seen on cheap used laptops was really
outrageous (very pricey for what you got).

That said, you can check out Action Used Computers (Colorado Blvd, south
of Yale), or Renaissance over on Bowles, west of Wadsworth.
