Laptop that doesen't cost too much

Hello !

I was wondering to get a laptop that doesen't cost too much.
I would use it only for "music" stuff : so there won't be even programs for net surfing, and things like that. That's why I don't need a 2000 $ one..
acutally I would like to get one that is under 400$ so that I can run quite fluidly all the basic programs (transcribe, cubase (obviously sx version), sibellius and so on...)

Matter of fact can you tell me also which programs do you consider "basic" for everyone to have on his "Music related" pc? (I know that if I want to record me, a sessions, vocals and stuff like that I will need a sound card..)

Thank you

eBay?

I got a decent Laptop for music recording off there:

Pretty decent specs for the price, and it works great for recording demos of my songs.

I only have Adobe Audition(recording) and Guitarpro(drums) on there.
