]]> Comment on Choosing a Cheap Laptop Notebook Computer by Celeste Ramsey http://computer-buying-guide.com/cheap-laptop-notebook-computers/#comment-485 Celeste Ramsey Tue, 01 Jan 2008 21:15:07 +0000 http://computer-buying-guide.ublog2.com/cheap-laptop-notebook-computers#comment-485 Thank you for your straight-forward recommendations. Now, I need to get to the websites to find this machine. It would be great to put in what I want and get a match or close to one. I am thinking refurbish. What are your thoughts? I don't see why anyone would want to pay thousands of dollars for a laptop only to have to replace it with newer technology in a year or two. I was thinking about IBM... Celeste Thank you for your straight-forward recommendations.

It was very easy to understand and much appreciated. Not sure how thorough it was. I'm new to computer buying and wondered about Apple and why it wasn't mentioned as a possible brand to look at. My girlfriend says they are geared for very professional use...a little over the top for the average person. Oh yeah and I wondered about longevity or computer life 100,000 miles or 300,000 something for a guideline. Which brand lasts the longest? Thanks Randy Tanks for the info.

  2. Engrave your details on the back, so it will get returned to you if you lose it or it gets stolen
  3. Most laptops have a USS (Universal Security Slot) so you can connect a cable lock or laptop alarm to your laptop. Will stop most casual thieves.
