Allright. Thanks guys for the quick responses. I'll settle for AROS then 
I dislike the MorphOS license fee, so i'll find a suitable laptop to use. Looks like I can pick up an Aspire On A150 for about $50 from ebay, but as you say -- it's quite weak. Yet -- it all depends on what I plan to use my aros laptop for.
Nevertheless, I'd like to find a very cheap laptop for this -- since aros probably does not need as much cpu power afterall for my purposes ... which are slim
I wouldn't worry about the Atom CPU, it's got enough power for AROS. Here's another option for you to consider:
