Hey Guys, I'm looking for a new budget laptop for school was wondering if I could get any suggestion's from any of you guys... I guess all I'm looking for is something under the 1k mark that will last me a few years mainly for doing basic stuff like wp, powerpoint, and maybe store some music and surf. Any ideas?

 

get a deal at xpbargains.com they always have cheap dells.......and any other cupon you need.....

 

I got Dell off of eBay that was one of the refurbished Dell's bought by some dealer guy. Still in the refurbished wrapping from Dell. CD/DVD-RW, Mobile 1.4 Pentium III chip, 60gig HD, 512SSDR, 15.4" screen, all the wireless cards and internal modem, Windows NT, all software including Outlook...all for $795 shipped...

You can also find refurbished Dells on their site. They are a great deal.

 

Thanks a bunch guys, xpbargain.com has a $500 off a 1499 system, so I went with that.... Dude! I got a dell

 

yeah Dell for cheap laptop is always good....Alienware for rock solid ***** to wall laptops

 

i hate dell.....toshiba is the only way to go....just got mine for school. 15.4 screen...100 gb HD 512 ddr2 and has cd/dvd drive....and u can burn both....internal wireless chip is pretty good also..i drive around in my car stealing peoples unprotected wireless connections lol....

 

smaller is always better when it comes to school, dont want to carry around 8lbs to every class, thats no fun. the 700m is pretty cool

 

dell, IBM, or compaq............budget is kind of tight
