text: can you help me? is anyone selling a laptop? it needs to be able to go online and it needs to be close to warwick, ny killer,  i would strongly advise you to not buy laptops from other people.  it's just a very risky thing to do; it's nearly impossible to ensure you aren't getting a lemon.  that said, you can get some pretty cheap laptops if you know where to go.  if you watch dell's website (www.dell.com) for a couple of weeks, you will usually see laptops in the $400 range.  this is probably the cheapest you will find.  $400 to dell buys you a pretty fast machine, most likely with both wired and wireless internet capabilities, along with myriad other features.
