Check out dell refurb center, always good deals there.
https://www.dellrefurbished.com/lapt...40-144809.html That will run Ecutek all day long with no problems. |

If that is seriously all you are going to use it for, hit up your friends to see if they have one in a closet somewhere, hit a pawn shop or look on eBay for a "refurb" model of some sort after reviewing the minimum specs on the application.

Lenovo T-series (420, 430, etc) can be had for $100-130 on ebay, and usually come with HDD and OS installed.

I'm seeing good deals on ebay too, just have to check condition carefully and make note if the seller gives information on battery life or if the hard drive/AC adapter is included.
