laptops under R1000

[Therapist]

Hi all. looking for a laptop/netbook/anything portable i can install micro xp on, for under R1000. it's most likely going to be broken (using it for paintball as radio/helmet cam recordings), which is why 2500 for a piece of rubbish netbook is too expensive. any suggestions?

Probably cheaper to get a small handheld.

Get a cellphone with Android... Small and cheap.

Yeah there are many cheaper alternative available, google spy cameras and you'll find loads of rubbish Chinese cameras.

Yeah - that is also how I understood the original post!

Why not get a GoPro camera that you can mount on a helmet or gun?! It would cost you about R2k for the entry level one, but at least it won't break easily and it won't be heavy either.

+1 on the GoPro gear. I use it for my IDPA shooting and it's great! Plenty rugged and doesn't interfere with whatever you're doing.

Video Quality on the GoPro is also damn good.
