Cheap or Affordable Laptop Deals

Nowadays, choices for laptop computers are really overwhelming. There are lots of brands to choose from, lots of designs and sizes plus lots of cheap deals available online and in stores. There are 400 dollars laptop deals and even lower than that making everybody crazy about laptops especially students who used them for their Ipods, phones and other stuff.

The laptop deals under 400 dollars can be used normally for basic computing functions like working on your word processing or spreadsheets, internet browsing where you can connect wirelessly, checking or sending emails, downloading files and chatting where you can use the built-in web camera. Basically, they would meet the basic requirements of most computer users. They are also very small especially those mini notebooks making them an ultimate travelling companion.

The usual technical specifications of these 400 dollar (or less) laptop computers are as follows: 8.9” to 10.2” display, 533MHz- 1.0 GHz, 1.0-2.0 GB RAM and 60-120 GB Hard Drive, about 2.2 to 2.9 lbs. and operating system which could either be Microsoft Vista or XP. One may find these specifications from popular brands like, Dell, HP, Acer, Samsung, Lenovo, Gateway and Toshiba.

Some brands called these cheap laptops netbooks, subnotebooks or mini notebooks. Since they are very small, their keyboards are usually cramped. Most have also relatively weak processors, such as the Intel Atom which is good for most basic tasks. In addition, most of these small laptops do not have CD/DVD ROM so one may have to get external gadgets.

If one will only use the computer for internet browsing and other basic stuff, these cheap mini laptops will fit in one’s requirements just fine. However, if one will use it to watch TV shows or videos online, to design graphics or play games then one may have to extend his budget to get a machine with higher specifications.

Purchasing a laptop computer involves one’s budget and objective for buying. There are lots of cheap laptop deals but also where you are going to use it would also have to be considered.
