cornhuskers_200 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Should I wait until July when Laptop prices are usually the lowest? Or whenever the next $500 off coupon comes out? g Edited April 10, 2008 by cornhuskers_200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 The best deals are on BF. The next best deals are usually before Christmas and before school starts (July, August). Intel is coming out with new chips for laptops so prices are probably going to drop soon again. If you can hold out for a bit, I think you will get more for your money...just my opinion though.

theboyzmom Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 we are thinking of getting a laptop for our soon-to-be 13 year old...obviously this is not going to be the laptop he will take to college, but something for him to play his games on as well as do word processing and research for papers... I am really unsure exactly what to look for and what prices to expect...I'd like to do it for his birthday which is the end of October, so waiting for Black Friday is out... suggestions?

debbha Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I would try Walmart for a laptop. They have HP, Dell, Toshiba and Acer models. There are even some markdowns that vary from store to store. All in all, I've heard of people that are very pleased with either Toshiba or HP laptops. I don't know very much about Acer, other than one of my first desktops was that brand and it was very nice. Never needed to call customer service on it. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcLaramie Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Never tried Acer, but they are cheap. Love my HP, did not like my Dell. Will definitely buy an HP again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortness Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 We have an HP laptop. Something went goofy with the screen. They shipped us a Fedex box, we sent it back (all free), they fixed it quickly. The whole thing was less than a week. It was a refurbished laptop, and we've had it 3 years now. Just the one issue that was taken care of so quickly.

angela2125 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I am also wanting to purchase an HP laptop for my daughter who will be going to college in the fall. If anyone knows of any deals on HP laptops that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar&Spice Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/101500/HP-Pavilion-dv6810us-Widescreen-Notebook-Computer/This is a good deal from Office Depot for 599. I was helping my dd's best friend look for one and this is the one she got. I think today is the last day for the sale though. She loves it. I had already gotten dd one (it's an HP with almost exactly the same specs) or I would have gotten this for her, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
