Thread: Best laptop deals??

Any brand. Any deal. Show me what's out there please.



-For the wife and not for gaming.

-$500 or under.

Got this in my buy.com email and that's what sparked my interest.

That MSI is a smoking deal though.

I got my wife a dell studio laptop, its pretty slick. It doesn't have an optical drive though, so if yours needs one its probably not worth the trouble of buying and using an external.

Starts at 549 so its above your price - but compared to that MSI, for 30 more dollars you are getting more performance in a smaller/better looking package.

Otherwise, I would take that ASUS over the MSI. Any laptop bigger than 14" and 5 lbs is bloated imo. But if its going to be parked all the time, then the big ones can have value.

I use an Asus laptop, I have nothing but positive things to say about it.

Also take a look at tigerdirect.com. They were doing a laptop sale a couple days ago and they might do another one soon, you never know.

K, thanks for the advice. Kind of just looking for something we can throw around and not really worry about. All of our laptops are too expensive to keep lugging around with us. Don't care for the netbook we have either...

I dunno, I'll ask her. It's a 10" Acer, that's about all I can remember atm. I'll let you know...
