FWIW.
Lenovo and Dell don't seem to have refurbished laptops with Linux now (at least I couldn't find any in their Outlet stores).

The Mini9 isn't available with Linux. They do offer the Mini10v with Ubuntu. The screen is 1024x600. You can upgrade the memory to 2 GB, but you have to disassemble the machine. http://www.jrin.net/...l-mini-10v-memory
HTH a little. Good luck!
Cheers,
