Laptop for middleschooler

[jessicaw]

I'm looking for a cheap laptop for my 12yr old middleschooler. She has asked for a "purple" computer, but so far anything in purple i've found has been way out of my price range. If anyone has seen any deals on laptops under $300 can you please let me know. I am unable to shop on friday morning at retail stores, but could do online if I had to.

Get a laptop and order a purple skin at skinit.com. Just an idea.

This one should work. I was planning on getting it for my 8th grader. It was $269 guaranteed in stock for the last 4/5 weeks and jumped $30 to $299. I may go back down again. There is also going to be a Gateway at BB on BF thats online only but price has not been listed yet. I hope it goes below $300

It may be difficult to find a purple one, but you can always get a skin-it like Littles mentioned or get her a purple case.

 

Target has a purple Lexmark wireless mouse for $10 that she would probably like too. I have the mouse and it works really well. It's in their ad for the 4 day sale.
