You won't find a new one at that price unless you get lucky. Some of the used stuff is pretty good, though. Although it requires some special flags to support an odd keyboard mode, the IBM ThinkPads work pretty well. Toshiba laptops also work well. John-Mark (who does some development for the FreeBSD project) is on an older Toshiba but it works quite well for him. I'm about to try a Digital HiNote laptop with it, an older model is what's behind the PAO Project. Also check freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org.
