If anyone knows of a laptop for under $1k that meets these criteria,
I'd be interested:
* At least 2GB of RAM. Preferably 4GB
* At least 1280 pixels horizontal resolution.
* At least 1024 pixels vertical resolution
* Has been on the market for 1-2 years, and doesn't have a reputation
for falling apart. (Ignoring expected things like battery life)

The rest is easy, but it's finding an affordable laptop that doesn't
fall apart after a couple years that's hard.
