Bah I need a cheap development laptop

[Ladios]

This laptop is aging fast and currently is useless for development meaning whenever I program I have to hop between computers with this laptop needing to be in range of wifi and my development desktop not being able to be connected to the router due to being situated in another building.

As such I need a laptop that can resonably run a multithreaded program with moderate opengl support, hopefully avoiding an onboard intel graphics chip.

I have no money, so I know everyone is quick to suggest these $1000 beasts, but sadly I can't have it.

Been looking at newegg and the closest I could find to what I want was a $498 acer, but I would hope for something cheaper, perhaps skimping on the graphics card a bit (i'd still like it to be above a G100 of course)

Were any of you looking at cheap laptops already, and could point me in the right direction?

To be more specific I am hoping to find
>=2gb ram
intel processor, >= i3
hard drive >= 250gb
nvidia graphics of some sort

What's your budget?

[Refticus]

I have $180. I plan on asking my dad to loan me a few hundred dollars for my birthday so I can purchase one of these, but money is tight for everyone these days, and so I don't want to ask for too much from him.
That said most of the decent laptops I am finding are around $400 but thats a bit pushing it so lower than that would be better.
Theres a samsung I've found on ebay for $280 with a broken battery I can replace for another $30, so that looks a bit nicer.

There is no way I would be able to afford a new laptop with the requirements I need.

Living in la probably doesn't help this situation too much.

chromebook? they're supposedly very decent for the price, apparently good build quality too.

well all my tools are already for windows and i'd hate to have to spend another few months learning all sorts of new linux compatable stuff, i was supposed to have finished my first release thing a week ago

what do you mean by development

what do you mean by development

able to run openGL 3.2 at least, and with a cpu that supports multithreading. Basically anything made after 2008 would probably work

Using it mainly for programming and compiling said programs, most of the assets I will probably make on my desktop so it doesnt need to be good enough to run some super modeling thing, just good enough to render at a decent rate the environments as I figure out how to better utilize rendering.
