Best IBM laptop for $500 – $600?

Hey guys, I am looking for a new Laptop and have heard some good things about IBM. In January, I made the terrible mistake of buying a Dell… Never again, I can tell you that much. Anyways, onto the question.

I’m looking for the best IBM or Thinkpad laptop that I can get. However, I don’t want to spend more then 500 or 600 dollars. I’m on a pretty tight budget. I was looking the IdeaPad s10-2, but I found it has a couple things missing. It doesn’t have a CD drive, which I need. Also, it doesn’t have a slot for an express card. That’s not a necessity, it would just be nice haha. It’ll be a laptop mostly for school, but I also want to be able to browse the internet pretty well and play games on it. I’ll also have music downloading on it as well. What’s the best IBM or Think pad laptop to go with given the amount of money I’m looking to spend?

It’s not an IBM, IBM themselves haven’t made a laptop in 5 years, Lenovo owns the division and has been making their computers ever since. But the one you’re looking at isn’t a laptop either, it’s a netbook, hence why it has no CD drive and rather low performance. Now if you really still want a Lenovo, Best Buy sells one model for $649 with a CD/DVD drive, 4GB of RAM and enough power to run basic games, Internet surfing, etc. More powerful games will require something more expensive.

By the way, the answer suggesting a refurbished IBM T42 Thinkpad, you realize by today’s standards that kind of computer is garbage, 1.5GB of RAM, 60GB of hard drive space, 64MB of shared video memory, a single core processor below 2GHz. Fine it’s an IBM but what’s the point of getting a long lasting laptop if it isn’t going to be able to run modern programs or be completely outdated in less than a year.
