Seem like decent people. I've gotten a couple of old/cheap used laptops there
for decent prices, but I think the higher-end laptops are overpriced for used.
The UM Property Disposition Center has a lot of used Mac stuff for OK prices.
Personally I think that buying a used laptop isn't that great a value, given
the difficulty of fixing any problems that might come up. You can get newer
orphaned or factory-refurb stuff at good prices.

I've purchased several systems from Affordable Computers and been quite
satisfied with both the quality and the service. Only new desktop systems
though - no used machines or laptops.

Re #184: It depends on how leading-edge you want to be, I think. I got
an IBM Thinkpad 770 in good condition off eBay for under $200. It's
only a 200 MHz Pentium, though. And of course when you buy off eBay
you're always taking your chances.

Laptops in the used market seem to run around $1 per MHz, give or take a bit
of slack. I still haven't found a good deal on what I'm after.
