Dell has one going for right now.  You can get a desktop for $350.00 (which is very good for a brand new one, especially a Dell).

Laptop or Desktop, it solely depends on your choice. Laptops have great flaunt value and mobility, whereas Desktops do not need to depend on batteries. I will give you the list of the components you should be getting and their prices.

If you r not a pro user and need the computer for basic stuff like email, web, music, films etc. you can buy one for as little as $300-400 depending on what deal u land. The specs you can expect will be something like this: Celeron-M or Core Solo cpu 1.4-1.66Ghz, 256-512mb ram, CD-RW/DVD drive, 40-60gb HDD, wi-fi wireless. If you want to go even cheaper, get one with an AMD cpu (like Sempron) instead of those intel chips. Check the weekly ads for big stores. This week both Office Depot and Walmart had sub $400 notebooks.

Buy the most that you can afford.  I would make sure that the computer has at least 512mb memory, 2ghz processor, 128mb video card and 160gb harddrive.

for the best value/performance ratio, i suggest you try checking out aldi or lidl... i know it sounds crazy, but they actually use good quality components from well-known manufacturers such as pioneer and samsung... you don't end up spending money on a brand name.\n\ni got my laptop from lidl about 18 months ago and it was as good a spec as anything out there - and it's still up there, no problems whatsoever.\n\nit also has a three year guarantee, which dell will charge several hundred quid for...\n\notherwise, toshiba machines are generally regarded as being very reliable. \n\nof course, if you're not doing a lot of gaming, pretty much any laptop will do the trick nowadays. i would advise against a laptop with shared graphics memory however...\n\ntry and get one that has its own dedicated graphics card and video memory...

if you buy a dirt cheap laptop, you will get what you pay for, save a little money, you can find used and refurbs cheap, I sell them all the time in my shop that I take as trade ins and refurbish, starting at 200.00. You can get them and not be ripped off

Dell.com without a doubt. I've heard experts from Geek Squad say this every time they do an interview on the radio, plus I have one myself, and many of my friends do too. If you call you can specify what you need and don't need so you don't pay for anything you already have, such as a good mouse or keyboard, or even monitor if you have a new one. A lot of times they run free shipping which will save you  almost $100. I would check the website daily for a week or so to get an idea what a good price is as they change often, but with research you can get a great computer at a great price.

Notebook for as low as $500 won't get you a new computer.  I find it impossible to find it, but you can still find notebook, refurbished or used in that price.  It depends where you bought the refurbished notebook as different stores has their own policy - some would even carry the same warranty as a new one.\n\nIf you're looking for used, try www.Craigslist.org\n\nIf money is no object, electronic stores or Dell for instance has great price usually around this time (graduation gift) or near school starts.

To get a computer that costs less than $200, I think you would have to by a desktop computer.  The laptop is always more expensive, and I know that you were asking about a laptop in your earlier question.  \n\nUse the same stores I mentioned in the other question, and good luck!
