Looks like the above poster's electric shock Vaio is more than a little problem.

I've got a Compaq 800mhz and an NEC 366mhz, both are rated E by Yahoo.

The NEC still runs fine, after almost 4 years. The Compaq's inverter went after a year, cost NT$1600 to repair.

Both cost about 35k.

A new ASUS with Centrino isn't a bad little machine for under 50k.
