Low Price Laptop


By Craig Stephenson

These days it's easy to obtain a cheap laptop that's not only affordable, but also includes the latest technology. Most consumers can find a laptop that fits their individual need for under $1000, brand new. It is possible to spend as little as $260. However, even a more customized computer for listening to music, basic videogame play, or watching TV can be as low as $500.

There are several inexpensive laptop models available on the market today. One of the cheapest is the Dell mini, with its 10 inch screen it is ultra portable. It has a keyboard that is 92% that of a traditional laptop, so you don't have to sacrifice efficiency to price or size. It is also equipped with a long life Lithium-Ion battery, wireless capabilities, 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM memory, a wide screen, mobile connectivity, Intel Atom processor, video card, a 120- 160 GB hard drive; and it comes with Ubuntu or Windows XP already loaded, so you're ready to go.

There are plenty of places to check out the latest technology, that also offer a good bargain. Though CompUSA and BestBuy have a wide selection, they aren't the only places that carry laptops. Some of the cheapest laptops can be obtained from Wal-Mart, Target, or K-Mart. They carry Dell, Toshiba, Acer and more. If the situation requires more than just a lap top, try looking at bulk stores like Sam's or Costco, where lower prices and more stuff are abundant.

Online stores are equally, if not better, stocked with cheap laptops. Consumers might be shocked to learn that Dell.com has a large selection of cheaply priced laptops, starting at $360. Macintosh.com doesn't quite have the same selection, but they offer a few low end laptops too. The best place to search online for a good buy is TigerDirect.com. They have a wide selection, low prices, and top of the line support.

People don't usually think of buying a computer second hand, but it's the best way to get a cheap laptop. A refurbished laptop, one that has been rebuilt by a qualified company, can give the best features for the lowest price. And because they've been rebuilt, they are just like new.

When attempting to purchase a refurbished computer, be aware that not all companies are reputable. Do some research into the company before buying anything from them. Most top selling computer companies, such as Dell, Toshiba, or Macintosh sell their own refurbished computers, and websites like TigerDirect.com also sells some of the cheapest.

There are a lot of benefits to owning a cheap laptop. They can be everything needed for everyday use, but without the worry of high replacement cost. This can be especially important if the laptop is going to be used for school or travel. Most cheap laptops still come with a one year warranty, which can be upgraded if a longer one is needed. And, since most of the top companies provide inexpensive models, a cheap laptop doesn't have to be low quality.
