How can i find a new laptop computer that's not as much as regular store prices?

In my experience, we go to bestbuy every week until a sale and rebate apply to a good laptop simultaneously.  That way you get a new, fully warrantied pc for a "better" price.  I've only ever paid slightly (5-7 percent) more than the average ebay price, but save a lot of hassle.

If you buy directly from Dell, you can get some really good deals.  They are awesome computers too.

I buy computer equipment from two sites and nowhere else (ever).\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com\nhttp://www.newegg.com\n\nYou can usually get a decent PC from either of those for half (or less) of what you'd pay at Best Buy or Circuit City.

go to DELL.com, they have great prices on desk tops and laptops.  Not worth buying one second hand.

A few for you to research:\n\nhttp://www.refurbished-laptops.biz/\nhttp://www.skyexlaptopstore.com/\n\nas well as Ebay.com, Ubid.com

I just bought a laptop from http://www.ebay.com, but the only problem there is, you never know exactly what you are getting. If you use EBay and trust me and know what you are doing then that is a great place to go. \n\nhttp://www.dell.com\nhttp://www.hewlettpackard.com\nhttp://www.gateway.com

See if your town has a 'Thrifty Nickel' kind of free newspaper.  They usually have listings for used computers and accessories.  I bought an older IBM computer with Win98 and a decent monitor for $90 from a man who bought a bunch of computers from a local college.  If you can live without XP, you might do better.  You can still access the Internet and do word processing on older operating systems.\n\nIf you want to buy new, try a place like Office Depot for EMachines desktop PCs.  They've been offering some really good rebates lately.  When we get our rebates back, our new computer with XP, monitor and Canon printer will only cost $300.

Its not tooo hard to buy a computer under $300. Look at http://www.craiglist.org for your area.\nThere are a lot of cheap monitors (free or $10 for 17") I have seen a  number of NEW computers for under $300, at some local stores and WalMart

Try CraigsList...also, if you can wait til x-mas, retailers have been including laptops as lures to entice shoppers.  Last December, Best Buy had nice ones for $199 (after rebates/AOL offer).  Alternatively, keep your eye on www.slickdeals.net

laptop computers can be a rather tricky buy at times, I would suggest that you look out for the cheapest and yet latest desktop on the market, the best way to do this is on what they call warehouse sale markets some of them are online. these warehouse owners have a service where they sell laptop computers to normal customers like you and me, however with very reduced prices due to the fact that they do not have as much costs as normal shops do, such as rent and a employees etc. as you know most online shops have rather competitive prices sometimes cutting the laptop price to a half. one such website for laptop computers is : \n\nhttp://umgarticles.atspace.com/laptop-computer.htm\n\nIf you like my answer please consider voting for me!!! thank you

Right now there is a great deal on a laptop that is good for basic home use. It is an HP and you can get it for $299.99 after a hundred dollar mail in rebate. There are some restrictions but I will definitely be getting one... It is such a steal! Check out all the details at the links below...\n\nhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/circuit-city-to-sell-100-compaq-laptop-on-black-friday/\nhttp://techdirt.com/articles/20061115/164759.shtml\nhttp://news.com.com/Notebooks+dropping+to+99+levels/2100-1041_3-6135370.html\nhttp://bfads.net/pop/3772\n\nOh ya you can actually get the notebook for $99.99 but you have to jump through a lot of hoops and it will probably will end up costing you more in the end...\n\nGood Luck!

Type used laptops into google and check out few of the websites that come up.  If you want new, type cheap laptops into google and check out the first few that come up.\n\nThe best brands are IBM and Toshiba, while Dell and HP also make a reputable product.  Decide what features you want and know figure out your budget.  If it is cheap and does not do what you want you might not be happy.  If you only need word processing, e-mail, chat and browsing the web and don't care about the battery then you can buy a decent refurbished laptop for $200 to $300.

Look around at Dell's laptops. They've got pretty good laptops at decent prices.

Well,\n There are quite a few sites that sell both new and used Apple laptops. If you are a first time user, go to a Brick-and-Mortar store, not eBay, and NOT any little weird "shopping" site. Don't click on a "FREE" link (There AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH !!!)\n I would say Apple, or Applefritter or even MacMall, that's a few to start.
