Sounds like you want a lot but don't want to pay for it. Kinda like where I work! Just kidding.\n\n1. Watch the advertisements and sales flyer's. Read all the information, I.e. Hard drive size, memory size, DVD and CD writer (Yes, should write DVD as well as CD), and\nscreen size, and the operating system.\n\nA decent laptop will have 1024MB Ram, 80GB Hard Drive or larger, A DVD +/- R/RW and CD-R/RW Drive. Most newer laptops will have a "Lightscribe and/or Dual Layer Drive. Windows XP Home has been replaced by the Windows Media operating system and dealers are now offering free or low cost upgrades to the new Vista OS. Battery life is very important if you travel. Look for three to four hours use on a single charge. \n\nNewer Laptops will have a "Media Card Reader" in place of the old 3.5" diskette drive and feature USB and Firewire Ports along with Wireless G or better Networking. You may also find the old standby of a Dialup Modem on some models and even a hardwired RJ-45 socket for a LAN connection. Last, there should be a VGA Monitor out port and Line-In, Line-Out, and Headphone jacks.\n\nCPU: These days everyone is talking the new Dual processor systems. Both Intel and AMD make these. The advantage of using an AMD is in price. You can trade off less Hard Drive and memory if you go with the Intel CPU since they cost more or go with the AMD Turion and put money in larger a hard drive and memory.

There's a variety of different computer outlets that sell computer-related stuff online.  If you're looking to purchase from them, one of the things to check for is that they're "VeriSigned".  This means their secure with your personal information.  Secondly look for an address and phone number for the company on their website.  If possible, call the phone number to verifiy the legitimacy of the company.\n\nIf you cannot find both mentioned above, then it's buyer beware.  If you'd like a suggestion to a company that's like Geeks.com, try NewEgg.com

See if your town has a 'Thrifty Nickel' kind of free newspaper.  They usually have listings for used computers and accessories.  I bought an older IBM computer with Win98 and a decent monitor for $90 from a man who bought a bunch of computers from a local college.  If you can live without XP, you might do better.  You can still access the Internet and do word processing on older operating systems.\n\nIf you want to buy new, try a place like Office Depot for EMachines desktop PCs.  They've been offering some really good rebates lately.  When we get our rebates back, our new computer with XP, monitor and Canon printer will only cost $300.

Look on ebay. In most cases an older laptop with P4 (1.4 - 1.8 GHz), 512MB Ram, 30 - 40 GB HD, DVD/CD-RW will do it. You should get 'em for $600 - 700. Look for\nIBM Thinkpad\nSony Vaio\nHP Omnibook

wat do you mean cheap...you need to ask yourself what you will be using the lap top for and then decide if cheap is what you want!!!

Ask at your local computer shop

Go to a reputable computer store and ask to speak to someone who is knowledgable on laptops.\nTell them what you need the laptop to do and how much you have to spend. They will show you alternatives. Do that in 3 or 4 stores, then go on the Internet and save yourself up to 10%.\nIn other words, get the best that you can afford. All manufacturers have good and bad models. A shop assistant who deals with them everyday will know the best (and worst)
