    Looking for cheap laptop

    Looking for a site that sells mid-end laptops for a fairly cheap price. When I say mid-end I mean 2 GHz CPU, 512 RAM, and 40 GB HD. Anyone help?

    No help?

    I think the best prices if you want to buy from a manufacturer is hpshopping.com there are some great notebooks with lots of options to fit your needs.

        This site compiles deals from all over the web on electronics (mostly pc's and laptops). They also have non-advertised web coupons.



        This site is good for refurbished and clearance computers. You can click on their "bargain countdown" in the top right corner. Usually some good deals one there:

        This website is for sale! ecost.com is your first and best source for all of the information you’re looking for. From general topics to more of what you would expect to find here, ecost.com has it all. We hope you find what you are searching for!


        I'm buying an old computer off ebay to put linux on and goof around with, but I DON'T recommend buying a pc you will depend on from ebay.

        Also, as an added afterthought, dell notebooks suck.

        [edit] as do their desktops.

        [edit 2] and they proabably aren't even good people.

          I completely agree with Dell sucking and thanks for the links, I'm sure they'll help a ton.

          This isn't a gaming laptop and even if it was I would NOT buy it from Alienware.

            I would say keep an eye out on techbargains.com , passwird.com , and spoofee.com
            those are some of the ones I always watch.

              I usually watch eBay for old laptops. Do you care about screen size or portability? I was very happy with my Dell Inspiron 8200 [modded to a Latitude C840: P4M-1600, 15" 1600x1200 screen with GeForce2Go 32MB, 3-spindles] from eBay. You can get 2GHz+ versions for $400-$500 now. Most Dell laptops since then have been pretty bad though.

                  Your a f*g, seriously, this guy is asking for help for a mid laptop, and you are just spamming this thread telling him to buy something that could cost him $3,000 when he isn't even looking for a gaming laptop for BF2. Oh also genious, alienware doesn't exists anymore, its called DELL v2.0, well those idiots bought alienware.

                  -----

                  Ok I found you 2 good deals, one that fits your needs (1), and something I recommend you (2).

                  1- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834115242
                  This is something that fits the shock with your demands


                  2-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834115218
                  This is something I would recommend you to get by streching your dollar, it has a x700 graphic card, and something that could run bf2 at med/high.

                    what price range are you looking for? are you looking to game on this? if so you'll need something with non-integrated graphics. does brand matter?

                      I just bought a Dell XPS M170 Brand new on ebay for $1,500...not sure if that's too expensive for you.

                      2Mhz Pentium M
                      1.0GB RAM (upgrading to 2)
                      GeForce 7800GTX (wow!)

                      i'm excited to receive it!
