Hi,
M:I've been looking for an inexpensive second-hand laptop for months.

w:

a. I'll keep an eye out for one.
b You can find one right away.

why (b) could not be a possible answer? It just doesn't sound natural.

in what question, you have a answer like (b)?? It's hard to think of a natural question. You need something which conveys a sense of immediate urgency. eg  I understand I have to wait 5 minutes before I go to look for a widget. Is that right?

Best wishes, Clive
