If all you’re interested in is where to purchase a cheap laptop you need look no further than your local Wal-Mart or BestBuy. But I think what most people don’t realize is just how limited their selection will be and how under powered some of those units are.
I think a better option is Amazon. They have hundereds of laptops and netbooks at great prices all in one place. You can also read customer reviews and get the opinions of others who have already bought and used the notebook you are intersted in.
Also you should consider that if you just go out and get the lowest price that you can find you may get that laptop computer home and find out that it dosen’t have enough memory or processer power to do the job that you want it to do.
Some times cheap is just that. You need to be sure that the computer you get has enough memory and that the CPU is up to the job you intend to use it for. If you end up having to ad more memory later that cheap laptop is going to start getting pretty expensive.
A friend of mine bought a notebook and soon found out that it was way to slow and ended up having to spend over $120 to get the memory he needed. Usually it would not have been that much but the manufacturer had used 2 500 MB chips instead of 1 1 GB chip so he had to replace both to upgrade.
When buying a laptop maybe you should think more in terms of value than cheap. You can get that plus a lot more at Amazon.
