need a laptop

[Pancake2k]

So im looking for a cheap laptop for school. My hp pavillion laptop with a 5400rpm hdd isnt cutting it, it takes almost a whole minute to boot and for school work that needs to be done quick and snappy it wont cut it. Iv been screwing around with a single core (yes you heard it right) amd si-semphron toshiba sattelite from 2009 that my mom had, iv put atleast 5 diffrent os on this machine and it absolutely sucks. I loaded chromium os on it and it worked, sort of. It did general stuff fairly okay but The battery life is crap, and the hdd is REALLY slow. But i knew i had to get something new when it OVERHEATED in class. No joke, i was using google docs on multiple tabs (which probably murdered the network card) and it started to become hot to the touch. I thought it would be okay but then it shut off due to a "thermal event". It still works but it still gets hot, bad battery life ect. So now i need a new laptop

 

So im looking for a "Very" cheap laptop. Im saving for a desktop that im building by christmas so i dont want to spend anymore than 50$ on a laptop. I want atleast a dual core processer (think celeron) with atleast 2 gb ram, and an ssd. Im ok with used stuff.

 

I dont care what os it has because i can put chromium on it or load it with ubuntu or some other linux distro. Please dont give me any ebay links or anything i just want a product not a sale. Any advice is welcome

Looked into it just exploring my options and if anyone else had any other recommendations

What's wrong with replacing the 5400rpm HDD in your existing laptop with a SSD? 

 

But seriously with $50, there's not a that can be done for you.  If you're willing to triple that, you can almost get yourself into something like a Dell Latitude E6420, or similar, but for $50, forget it.

grab a ssd for your current laptop

The only think you can get for $50 is a used chromebook lmao
