# Dunno if they're 'for sale' as such?
I'm with you though, would love to see what they're like. Laptops seem dead cheap nowadays anyhow, comparatively.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$100_laptop

Use a portable hard disk as your main hd.

# I love the idea!
Both the linked article and your concept.
I want to still be able to get to my email after the apocalypse.
