No, I need something relatively recent.

As I'm moving to London and will be staying in a hotel for a month or
so, it's really got to be a laptop and since I'm awful at anything
requiring *systems* type work, the idea of setting up a VM on a Linux
laptop to run Windows scares me (I've failed miserably at this before).
 I'd much prefer to just have a cheap Windows laptop where I can focus
on getting my software running on Windows and not worrying about
anything else.

Cheers,
Ovid
