Compaqs are not a good idea!!  I have a Dell notebook and paid a little over $750 total for it.

If you can, try and buy your computer locally..You will save on the shipping charges, and insurance..I bought my last two computers, at staples..If you watch your local flyers, and newspaper ads, most of the time, you will catch a good sale, and could save hundreds of dollars..Also, look for rebates, that you can send to the manufacturer of the computer..Good Luck..

For an example on how to get a free laptops, try the following link:\nhttp://laptops.freepay.com/?r=27988381\n\nThere are some websites that offer a free laptop if you fill out questionnaires and surveys, sign up for at least one offer, and make referrals.  Some examples of these offers are credit card applications, Netflix / Blockbuster movie rentals, magazine subscriptions, etc.  These offers are usually decent deals (but not the best if you search hard on the internet.)  As for referrals, you will need to get family and friends to sign up for the same free laptop deal.  For this reason, although these free laptop deals are legit as reported by media (including CNN, New York Times, NPR, etc), these deals are criticized by some for its aggressive marketing methods.  Others argue that this is simple an alternative payment method in which advertisers pay for the end-users/consumers.\n\nI encourage you to do more research on your own before heavily investing your time.  As mentioned earlier, it works and you will get a free laptop.  However, it also takes work and time.  This link should provide you with more unbiased information.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freepay\n\nAnd here is another way to get free laptops simply by getting a credit card called “Upfront Rewards Visa”.  Then you transfer a balance and maintain it for a period of time.\nhttp://www.myupfrontreward.com\n\nYou can also collect labels for Campbell's soup label program.\nhttp://www.labelsforeducation.com/default.aspx\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

Yes, they will actually give you a free laptop, but you will need to respond to a lot of surveys, sign up for at least one service (which is either free, very low cost, or minimal commitment), and then you will need to refer friends.\n\nYou might want to take a look here for more info:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freepay\n\nAnd here is an example of free laptop:\nhttp://laptops.freepay.com/?r=27988381

oops, i hope you did't use the ID you're using on this site coz maybe it would make a negative impression.  anyway try contacting a charity organization if u really have a need & u can't get a loan. example: local church, red cross, catholic charities, or united way etc etc

If you get junk mail from department stores, check those out. I saw a laptop in a BigW catalogue for $1500. Acer with 512mb ram, 60gb hd. nice.

You may buy parts or laptops (and take parts from them) on auctions. Check your local ad. You my surprised.

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)

There are some laptops that come in under $600 but they have very low system resources and won't be very good at music and especially video.\n\nYou need more system resources then that really offers.

I just purchased a Dell Inspiron 9300, not the cream of the crop, but a higher end selection. If I could offer any advice, I would suggest an Apple. Even with a brand new operating system, I constantly have programs freezing up. You should look into Apple - I hear they are wonderful.
