A friend and I are having a small competition: what is the best laptop we can get for no more than £50?
At the end of the competition, it must be running the current version of an OS, and usable for day-to-day tasks.
Buying broken/missing bits is fine, as long as it is fixable within the budget.
Secondhand is fine (and, well, inevitable).
It has to be bought from a commercial source, not cadged off another friend / found in a skip etc.
("Best" is subjective; it's a bit of fun.)
