eBay *might* have some extremely old laptops going around for about $100.
Otherwise, the cheapest laptop you're gonna find is the Eee PC, which is about $300. And that runs Linux, so unless you can deal with the lack of software and drivers, then you should save up about $600 or more to buy a decent laptop.
Actually, my link is $330 and has 9" screen, 160GB HDD, and runs windows XP. So no linux if you don't want it.
