Remember Cheap Laptops Does Not Need to Mean Cheap Brands
Searching for cheap laptops can be very frustrating. You discover two options, nice specifications for a company you have never heard of, or the cheap line
from top companies. Neither of these options is very exciting. You want to find even lower prices, while making sure it is from a top manufacturer who
offers long-term support. How can you find the best of both worlds?
You could of course start searching through every big computer site online. You could start searching through Ebay and get totally lost trying to figure out
what people are offering. You could even jump into Craigslist and take your chances. All of these options will probably have you spending hour after hour
trying to find what you are looking for and possibly still not buying what you really want.
Start Your Search for Cheap Laptops by Defining Your Needs
Before discussing one of the best options for finding cheap laptops we need to define specifically what you want. Are you looking for a new laptop or a
used laptop? Do you want refurbished options or only brand new? You might even be looking for a broken laptop to steal parts off of to repair your
current laptop. What do you need? Let us take a quick look at these options.
New laptops are going to be the most expensive option, at least on the surface. While you may pay a couple hundred dollars more, remember a warranty is
valuable. When a laptop fails repairs are often expensive. If you are on a really tight budget you should consider refurbished laptops before used laptops.
A factory refurbished laptop will come with a limited warranty, usually shorter in duration than new. It is still a step up from used.
The option of buying a used laptop carries a few risks. Number one, you must verify the laptop is in good working condition and meets the specs you need.
Verify it comes with either the CD to reload the laptop or the repair image on the hard drive. You will want to have a clean install of the operating system
when you get started. Ask the seller about their return policy. You do not want to receive your shipment only to discover you purchased a broken laptop
which will cost hundreds to repair.
