Ebay, they sell for almost nothing. You will likely have to have the capacitors all replaced on the motherboard due to their age.

My local pawn shop generally has a couple at any given time. They usually have something like a 1.4 - 2.4ghz processor and focus their advertising stickers on how long much storage they have. Most run $100-150.

If you plan to use it with a monitor connected, yiu may find the mini pc to be more robust and in the same price range.

Dont underestimate the Pi either. They can do quite a bit thesedays.

Use a tiny Raspberry Pi and use a "Laptop Portable Screen". About $45 for each.

Get Dosbox working on the Raspberry Pi then load Windows 3, 95 whatever retro system you want.

That is how you make a Retro Laptop. 3D print a case for it.

Running Dosbox on ARM is not something I ever considered...

some of those old laptops got horrible screens
if you move the mouse you could see it ghosting
make sure you buy those with TFT and not dual scan
