Buying refurbished notebooks is a much cheaper and more effective way to buy notebooks. What is a refurbished notebook anyway? Basically, someone did not like the color of the notebook when they removed the computer from the box, it had a scratch, they thought the CD tray was broke (but was working fine), and on and on.

I have personally owned at least 22 computers in my lifetime (not counting the servers I have bought through the years). One day I decided to buy a Compaq Presario CQ60 for 400 dollars. This computer worked just as efficiently as my HP Pavillion dv9000 for 1,400 dollars.

Most notebook manufactures are loading more computer programs that you dont need or want on the notebooks being sold in todays marketplace; which requires faster processors and more RAM.

So, why buy a computer that costs 1,000 dollars more? To tell you the truth, I cannot give you one solid answer why the HP Pavillion dv9000 is a better deal (for what I do most). Sure you can buy the HP Pavilion around 1,000 dollars now. But why should you spend 600 dollars more when you cannot tell the difference between the two notebooks?

Refurbished notebooks can break just like a standard notebook from the same manufacture, but at least youre getting the computer at a 25% to 50% discount. Its like buying a foreclosed home at steep discount (nearly brand new).

Notebooks that are refurbished normally sell for less than 500 dollars. I would buy two of them simultaneously, so in case you get hit by a virus, or drop the computer”you have a cheap, effective computer waiting in the closet.

Buying cheap notebooks is the best method to accomplish what I do most; which is emailing, internet searches, and writing in Word. You do not need to buy an expensive computer just to accomplish those tasks.

The dawn of low-priced notebooks designed for the average, everyday user with the combined training of these users on how to actually use their notebook has arrived.

Think smart, you do not need the most expensive notebooks to accomplish simple tasks.
