Cheap Laptop?
 

Any recommendations on where I can get a cheap laptop (open box or refurbished etc. are all options) I have a desktop that is satisfactory but what I want is a laptop to take notes on and access the internet, nothing really higher powered than that.

Any suggestions, tips, etc?

Try Overstock.com.

Open box laptops come with the same warranties as a brand new laptops, but are marked way down.
