Alright so similar to my macbook thread I am also looking for a decent laptop that is decently light and thin. It doesn't have to be great specs but good enough to run basic things on and decent condition as well. Thanks so much I really appreciate it!

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

I am looking for a used one on ebay. Not necessarily New or anything.

What? I had two separate questions so I made two separate threads with no intentions on making more with related questions.

That's your excuse to defend your claim...

When you say "that cheap"......it could be any amount because "that cheap" could mean any amount.

And 100 BUCKS........

Surely the OP wouldn't get anything good for 50 bucks but i provided an example to show the best that you could get as cheap as possible.
