hannahs_momma Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 It doesn't have to cost an arm and leg I prefer it doesn't. Needs to be able to research info online for school papers and be ok to take to college next fall this will be his Christmas Present well part of it I don't have alot of money to spend no more than 400 is this feasible?
fulfam Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I would say check out the dell.com outlet I've seen some in that price range.
hannahs_momma Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 UGH THe Laptop is SOLD OUT THAT IS A GOOD DEAL TOO UGHHHHHH THank Conj I appreciate it!
conj Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Did you try calling your local store? Also - there is one inside that is $50 more.
hannahs_momma Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 I tried all sold out! I did both and both sold out thanks though!
mrn8 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Dell Outlet has a huge selection of Inspiron notebooks for under $400 right now.
Marcster Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 hannahs_momma -- I'm going to throw this out there: Geeks.com has a refurbished single-core 1.5Ghz Toshiba Tecra laptop w/Windows XP Home for $379.99. Be certain to read the descriptions here:http://www.geeks.com/pix/2007/TECRAM2-1B.html And make sure you are OK with the "Grade B" refurbished description here:http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=TECRAM2-1B If you aren't happy with the "Grade B" laptop you receive, I'm sure you could return it and just be "out" the shipping. I will say that while it's not "new", it is a Tecra, which is Toshiba's business class of laptops. Be aware that this is a single-core laptop and it has a standard-format (not a widescreen) monitor. Also, if you do buy it, you may want to upgrade the RAM to 1GB.
nirvana4all Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I say personally wait until sunday and look at some of the same places we refered you to this week that were already sold out. The deals lately have been rather decent on some machines. I personally shy away from refurbished, but if you do not, the one from marc is doable (w/ an upgrade to the ram)
hannahs_momma Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 I checked it out I think Its great for what I need but I am going to wait til Sunday To Make My Decision THanks Everyone and if anyone else has any other deals please post it I am sure we could all use some deals with computers
babymains Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Walmart will probally have one for around $200 on BF. Like last year get there early. I bought a laptop on Walmart.com for just less than $500. It works wondeerful. They have serveral desktops for about $400. We bought one in March never had a problem. It has vista on it. If you still don't find one, try a used one on Craig list. Hey it may not be "new" but it is new to you.
guilliam Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Walmart has some computers on clearance here. They had one for $278, but no monitor. Seemed like a good deal to me.
Marcster Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Walmart has some computers on clearance here. They had one for $278, but no monitor. Seemed like a good deal to me.The OP is looking for a laptop, I believe.
hannahs_momma Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 Yeah I saw that one at mine it was 250 something but no monitor I don't understand the logic behind that Dell's outlet use to include a monitor but doesn't anymore I keep check the dell outlet periodically through the day and Sale Ads coming out on Sunday!
Marcster Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Yeah I saw that one at mine it was 250 something but no monitor I don't understand the logic behind thatMonitor technology doesn't change as fast as computers need to be upgraded. Many people already have a monitor that can be used for a new computer.
conj Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Bestbuy has 2 in this weeks circular - a Compaq 420 desktop package (monitor, CPU & Printer) for $389 and a Toshiba Laptop for $399
hannahs_momma Posted November 11, 2007 Author Posted November 11, 2007 STILL LOOKING lol yes I know its getting close to Christmas but I still haven't found it It has to be under 400 I know cheap but we can always upgrade when he takes off to school
celticlady Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Here's a thought...try the Dell business section. They will have really good laptops on sale and I hear the Customer Service for the business side of Dell is SO much better. Also try Microcenter. If you don't have a store near you, look at their online deals. Good Luck!
conj Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 have you been watching the ads? Bestbuy has them in every weeks flyer - in your price range
hannahs_momma Posted November 11, 2007 Author Posted November 11, 2007 I have been watching all the ads haven't seen them 400 or under yet for laptops?
