For most consumers the simple choice is usually the most expensive choice. Two of the most popular brands on the market today are Dell and HP. Dell.com and HP.com will offer you a great interface and a pleasant shopping experience but what about value? With today’s age of personalization you can pick and choose almost every specification and tailor it exactly to your liking. However, if you’re a bargain consumer, there are quite a few options to buying a great laptop while still saving a whole lot of money. Below you’ll find some great tips and insight on purchasing a laptop computer without paying RETAIL.
Dell Popular Deals is a good start for finding a decent deal right on the Dell site. You’ll average a savings of $65-$135 plus a few freebies tacked on (free s/h, free memory upgrade, etc.)
HP offers a rival option called “Offers Finder”, providing their basic “open to the general public” deals with some freebies also tacked on.
Dell Outlet Shop provides three nice money saving options if you’re not looking for a totally brand new computer:
- “Certified Refurbished” option: these laptops experience a thorough diagnostic process which brings them to all original factory specifications. You may see a few cosmetic blemishes, but they will not affect performance.
- “Previously Ordered New” option: these laptops never actually saw any use. They might of been part of a canceled or returned order. No cosmetic damages should be present.
- “Scratch and Dent” option: systems may have cosmetic blemishes but that would not affect performance. All vital parts of the computer such as keyboard or screen will be perfectly in tact and free of scratches.
For the best value, the scratch and dent option will save you considerably more than the other two. However the certified refurbished option will also save you anywhere from 15-30% off retail depending on models and availability.
