Where would I check? I just heard about a computer shop not too far from me that might have some. I looked at refurb's at Dell, but they still seemed expensive to me. I originally was hoping to get one from the college my daughter is going to. They sounded very positive. But when the time came, they decided not to sell them. Plus - my daughter's is 2 years newer than I would have, and the kids have a lot of trouble with them. Not enough umph to run the operating system, let alone programs.
