Expensive iPhone apps and Cheap Laptops

Some equate used laptop computers with outdated technology. That’s far from being the case. True, computer technology evolves quickly but who can say with a straight face that a 2-3 year old, and even older, notebook is not up to the job anymore? A computer salesman, that’s who, but they are full of it, you and I know that. But it can’t run the latest games…true but you don’t get a cheap used laptop for that, if you want to run the latest and greatest pony up the cash for a new quad core desktop or an Alienware laptop.

No, where used cheap laptops shine is in their offer: decent technology at a decent price that can do virtually everything you’ll ask from it. Let us face it, even budget laptops of today come with pretty good specs as standard, it’s like cars….base models of today have nothing to do with base models of five years ago or more. Nowadays, used laptops for sale feature upgraded displays, style and equipment (DVD, CD-RW etc.). Let us have a look at some of these features in more details.

First, laptop monitors. There are two factors here, size of the screen and resolution. Used laptop screens usually measure between 12 and 20 inches. Resolution is between 800 x 600 pixels and 1680×1050 pixels for a cinema type monitor. Resolution plays an important role in the quality of the image displayed by your used or refurbished laptop. Windows displays best with a resolution of 1024 x 768. Don’t forget though that the biggest your laptop monitor, the heavier your used laptop will be. If you intend to carry it around, make sure your used notebook is not overly heavy.

Another thing is the style of that cheap used laptop we all want. Just because it is not new does not have to mean it should be ugly. Thankfully, laptop manufacturer have begun to take design into consideration over the past few year and you can find today a variety of used cheap laptop computers in all sorts of colors, red, green, blue, pink, not just the traditional black or gray. Some used laptops also feature nice equipment such as an integrated webcam, a blue ray disc drive and more. So here it is: cheap used laptops do not mean outdated. In these days of economic difficulties they are the smart buys: a good used laptop will last you years for half or more than half off the price of new computers.

  1. It’s not on the app store anymore

  2. i cant find it…i put in i am rich but nothing comes up i want it!!!!!wtf why cant i find it???

  3. Bestbuy has a $249 Asustek and a $279 Acer, both netbooks, and both based around the standard Atom chip. Not terribly fast, but fine for OpenOffice, Myspace, Youtube, online games, video chatting, .etc,.etc. The small flash drives mean your daughter won't have space with which to pirate media, and the units are cute, weighing in at around two pounds and looking about the size of a stenographer's notebook. Both ship with Linux plus all basic applications, and the Asustek's Ubuntu is the better-supported and more friendly option of the two. If you wish, both can also run Windows XP (but NOT Vista).

    Seems like you want to do a local purchase, which might be an issue. Both have limited retail availability, but you can always buy at bestbuy.com and have it shipped to the store. You then pay no shipping and recieve standard in-store care if it ever has troubles. If you don't have a credit card, I think they can order the machine for you in the actual store, assuming they have no on-hand stock.

    Also, yes, they're real computers, despite looking like shrunken laptops and costing so little money. Most buy them as second machines, but they suffice as a primary unit for most teenagers. Only issue is the small keybioard and screen, but she could attach it to the family TV as she desires and use an external keyboard (cost: $10).

  4. Besides checking the local ads that are published in most newspapers (or published on-line) every Sunday for BestBuy, Circuit City, or Office Depot, try http://WWW.TIGERDIRECT.COM. I have had good luck with their refurbished models (they are really new; someone canceled an order, order over runs, or someone didn't know that they had to type on that little bitty keyboard or they couldn't figure out how to get the laptop to open, so it was returned and restored to factory new standards, repackaged and offered to you for much less that its non-refurb. brethren). I bought a 15.4 inch screen HP/Compaq with a dual core processor for $399.00 before X-MAS there this year for my daughter and the computer smokes my hopped up desktops! I did upgrade it from 512 MB to 1GB DDR2 Ram for $19.99 from Tiger, also. I sold the old memory on eBay and it almost paid for all the new memory. + No taxes, just shipping.

    http://WWW.CheapBastards.COM offers some almost too good to be true (but they are) deals occasionally, but you have to be willing to surf a while and be aggressive when you do land on a special. They usually are sold out in hours to a day or so. They send you to other sites and some "secret back doors," like to Office Depot or other places and give you the specs to order a custom build computer that will give you an automatic huge discount at checkout. Seems crazy, but it works. Those are rare, so jump if you see one!

    BOL on your Laptop hunt. It can be work, but if you really want to go green, or at least save some, you've got to put in the shop time.

  5. its gone now

  6. Here you go
    http://www.buylaptopsshop.com/BuyLaptops-565108-Dell-Brand-sr-1.html
    Good luck.

  7. Haha!!! Googling Google!

  8. Well… Any windows OS can be capable of running WMM. However, the price range that you're in will make it difficult to edit the videos in a timely manner….

    Alrighty then, lol.

    If you’re buying a laptop, there are a few things to consider.

    1. The processor. Most, if not every decent laptop in today's market has dual-core technology. This means that it has two processors working as one to compute information. Now, what's the difference between speeds? In all reality, for a common user (that is not a hard-core computer geek like some of us), the difference between 1.8GHz and 2.0GHz is negligible. The only areas you will be able to notice will be in gaming, and video encoding.

    2. The memory. If the OS (Operating System) is a "32-bit" then it can only read approximately 3 GB of RAM. Only the "64-bit" processors can understand 4+ GB of RAM. RAM is what the computer uses to store temporary information, like open programs (internet, word processing, music players, etc…). A general rule of thumb is that the more RAM, the faster the computer will load programs/files to a point (as with everything). An industry standard nowadays is around 3 GB. The faster the "clock speed" of the ram (the higher the PC xxxx), the higher quality the RAM.

    3. Hard Drive space is what you store the more permanent information on – word files, music, videos, programs, etc….If you have an extensive music library (5000+ songs (legal songs)), then you should be looking at a computer with at least 250GB (1 GB = 1 Billion Bytes). If you don't really need all that space, then a laptop with 160+ GB of Hard Drive space would suffice.

    4. Graphics Processor!!! If you will not be watching many DVD's or playing any games, then you can settle for an integrated video processor such as the INTEL X3100. If you want the security of being able to play the occasional 3D game, then I would recommend a dedicated graphics card with dedicated memory (256MB or 512MB). You can check whether or not the card is integrated by going to "http://www.notebookcheck.net"

    5. Most laptops now feature DVD/CD Burners. Some offer a built in feature known as "Lableflash or Lightscribe." This will allow you to "etch" images on special CD/DVD's. It makes the finished CD/DVD look more professional.

    6. Price Comparison. Expect to spend $550+ for a decent laptop nowadays. You can sometimes (or during really good sales) find ones cheaper around $450.

    The first laptop I would recommend is the Toshiba M305D-S4829 from Circuit City this week. I just purchased it last Wednesday, and am typing on it right now. It has a ton of power, like seriously. I was playing BF2142 last night with no problems. It costs $699, but It'll be running strong for a few years before anything begins to become too demanding for it. The sound quality on this laptop is phenomenal. It has Harman/Kardon speakers that are Bose quality. It has 4GB of RAM, an ATI Radeon 3100 processor, which is nearly equal to most mid-range dedicated graphics processors. It support 802.11b/g/n networks. It has a standard webcam (not to mention facial recognition software for extra secured log-ons) and all the other features you need lol. The style on this laptop is phenomenal.

    If that is slightly out of your price range though, I would say go to Best Buy and pick up the HP DV5-1002NR. It costs $679, but it is nearly as good as the above laptop with only a few exceptions (it is actually better in some areas as well, lol). The touchpad on it has a glossy feel which is fine for cooler weather, but if its humid out or your fingers are the least bit sweaty, it becomes quite difficult to move the pointer. It has a slightly better video processor – the ATI Radeon 3200 (the main difference is that it has a HDMI output). It has a slightly larger screen at 15.4" WS. Its half a pound heavier, which isn't really a big deal to me at all. It also runs the 32-bit OS of Vista which will only support 3 GB of RAM, which is fine for nearly everything. I hope this helps you in your quest!

    The next two are right about tied for abilities if the above prices are a bit out of your budget. I would recommend testing each one, and then deciding which one you prefer better.

    The first one is the Toshiba L305D-S5868 from BestBuy this week at $549. It features the ATI Radeon 3100 which is capable of handling many 3D games, and in fact – it is the same video processor as the laptop that I am using. It features a built-in webcam, as well as standard DVD/CD re-write ability. It has a 250GB hard drive running at 5400RPM. One feature that it could improve upon is its stock RAM. From the store, it only comes with 2GB. This can be easily upgraded to 3GB from any computer retailer (including http://www.newegg.com). It also comes with a user-friendly touchpad as well as a nice blue form factor. Although it doesn’t necessarily have all of the extra-goodies, this laptop is perfect for the common pc user, and comes at a great price!

    The second one is the Toshiba L305D-S5881 from Circuit City. This laptop is nearly identical to the last laptop with a few exceptions. It has 3GB of RAM instead of the two in the previous model. Along with this, it has a slightly different blue form factor. The price is adjusted for the extra gigabyte of RAM – $579.99. Remember to compare the two before your purchase to ensure that the one you buy is more fitting for your likings.
