Hello!

I am looking for a small couch surfing laptop/NetBook (10.1 inches at the lowest size, 11 inches at the highest size) that I can watch YouTube on, use for SNES emulators, surf the web, check emails, browse Tom's Hardware, and listen to music on.

Price Limit: $150

Screen Size: 11 inches max

I really don't care about how bad it is, as I am wanting to upgrade the RAM, replace the HDD with an SSD, replace the thermal paste on the heatsink, and clean the cooling system.

Oh, and I would prefer a 4GB max RAM support, rather than a measly 2GB max.

Thanks in advance!

If you sift through these offerings you will find the right one at the right price.
 

I bought over 10 refurbished laptops for friends and family. In some cases I upgraded the RAM and upgraded from Win Vista to Win 8 for $40 when Win 8 was introduced. Look for cosmetic grade A when you buy.
