Here I review the laptop I've been using for around a year: the Thinkpad X200.
It's my favorite machine for a couple reasons: easily compatible with all free software, like other Thinkpads, easily repairable and customizable and is still compact and portable.
All for only around $100; and I expect it to last quite some more time.
Info about what I have in my machine:
*Ol' fashioned Intel core duo
*Half TB SSD (for Sanic-fast speeds)
*8GB of RAM
*Motherboard has been librebooted
*Atheros wifi card (forgot exact model...)
*And of course, trusty old Ganooooo slash Linocks
