Need a new computer...

[5point0guy]

Well, after 5 years my old desktop has finally crapped out on me, so now I'm looking for a new computer. I want to get a laptop, so my question is, which sites have the best selection and prices on computers? My range is between $300-$500. I know, I'm being kinda cheap, but I'm just looking for a simple, easy to use laptop. Thanks.

My dell has survived 4 years so far, and they have brand new ones for 399 and 499. They wont be fancy by any means but should do the job.

You could buy a used one for the same price and get more stuff i'd bet.

all of these places will have pretty good deals on systems. If you dont like the ones you see this week, check back next week and they will have diff ones. Also, depending on where you live, TigerDirect has no tax

keep in mind that $300 laptops tend to be rather cheaply made and underpowered. also tend to get terrible battery life (unless its a netbook)

If you were looking for a gaming rig I could see about getting you a deal on a CybertronPC.

I appreciate it, but I'm just looking for a basic, everyday laptop.

Thanks for the input. I checked TigerDirect.com and they had some pretty good deals.

I'll just pipe in that if you don't need portability a desktop is still best for a number of reasons. But if portability is a must I understand why you want the laptop. I have a desktop for my regular stuff, and I use a 12" Asus netbook for Internet stuff upstairs in the den. Best of both worlds.

I'm a big fan of Dell computers. Use them here and at the office. Premium support is awesome! Prices are pretty good, too! My home Dell computer was bought on a Dell Preferred account and I got a no-interest deal when I paid it off in 6 months. Just took the total and made 6 equal payments. With their more expensive systems they give you up to a year to pay with no interest.
