I was figuring more like $200 including a monitor, some flash cards,
power adapter, enclosure, wifi dongle, etc.  You can get a decent x86
laptop for $200 new if you shop carefully and wait for closeouts etc.
Frys.com has several right now.  Or you can get a Chromebook if you
don't mind its limitations.  Or you can get decent used laptops galore
for $100-ish on Craigslist.
