Need to Find Someone a Super Cheap New Laptop

[kenan921]

Just trying to find a friend of mine a super cheap new laptop. He's looking for a basic wireless web machine that plays DVDs and writes CDs.

Thanks,
Kenan

Averatec -- several models under or around $800, check Sam's Club/Costco
Retail store cheap models -- Usually Toshiba, go for ~$500 usually after rebates
Dell Inspiron 2200(?) -- cheapie also, esp w/coupons

Check out NewEgg, they have cheap Acer notebooks their also

See if you can snag one of the deals on Toshiba widescreen laptops from Office Depot. I've seen them go for 600$ locally.

Be careful if you go looking for theses, the two newest models OD features that are "low priced" (recently as low as $499 after MIR) appear at first glance to be widescreen because they use the same body as the rest of the notebooks, but the bezel around the screen has been widened, and the screen is just a standard 15"

I bought my mom an Acer Aspire 3002LCI from Circuit City last week for just over $500. Not sure if it's still on sale but it has: Sempron 2800+, 15" screen, 40GB HD, 512MB RAM, 802.11 B/G wireless, CD/DVD burner. It's perfect for an Internet/Email/Watch some DVDs machine. Now if I could only get it through to her that once she leaves the house it's no longer connected to the Internet
