Inexpensive Laptop Computers
Are you looking for a notebook that doesn't cost the earth or which will be perfectly within your budget? What you really need are refurbished notebooks, which are basically inexpensive laptop computers that are as good as their standard or branded counterparts.
If you are looking for a laptop that is as good as new and yet inexpensive then there are several websites over the internet where you can find them. One of the important things to understand is that all inexpensive laptop computers are not a good bargain and you need to be careful before buying one. The first thing is that you should always buy a refurbished notebook from a genuine and reliable online store and the second thing is that don't buy it without a warranty. There are several big brands like Dell, IBM, HP, and Toshiba who sell refurbished computers at almost half the rate of the new ones. Most of the laptop brands even have their own refurb store across the usa from where you can directly pick up inexpensive laptop computers.
You can really say that these are cheap laptops but they are not as expensive as the mainstream laptops or notebooks. In a way, these notebooks are also known as discount laptops, which have been used for a limited period of 15 days or 30 days. Some of these laptops are also demo laptops that have been refurbished to a new notebook condition. The three top models of refurbished notebooks include Dell Inspiron 1525, Apple MacBook 13", and Toshiba Satellite P300.
Normally, inexpensive laptop computers will have the basic or standard configuration and some even have high-end configurations as well. When buying one of these laptops, you need to consider the following:
Warranty: Warranty is an important factor. The warranty period is different on laptops from different brands. It can be anywhere from 3 months to 1 year. But don't buy a laptop without a warranty.
Processor: The processor plays an important role in enhancing the speed. Most inexpensive laptop computers will have a minimum of Intel Pentium 4 and a maximum of Core 2 Duo. If a store offers you a Pentium 3 then it is better not to buy it because that is an outdated processor and hence maintenance will be very high even though the cost would be very less. Some of the computers will also have Intel Celeron processors, which are as good as Pentium if not better.
Hard Disk: Check out the hard disk space. Anything below 20GB is a no-no. You need to have a minimum of 20GB HDD space to run programs effectively without the laptop becoming too slow to work on.
RAM: The RAM makes the laptop faster. If you want a high end refurbished laptop then the RAM should be around 1GB but if you just want standard inexpensive laptop computers then the minimum RAM should be 256MB. If RAM is less than 256MB then that will make your laptop too slow.
Last but not the least, check for an Ethernet connection or an adapter. Inexpensive laptop computers normally have a built in 56K modem or 10/100 Ethernet adapter. Either ways, this will help you to browse over the internet.
