Go on a Laptop Bargain Hunt

By Gary Hendricks


Are you out on a bargain hunt for a laptop? Well, its not an easy task. Laptops these days change very quickly, with faster processors, improved graphics, as well
as huge chunks of RAM.
The good thing about this is that with newer models, the older models become cheaper! The older models will ultimately become more affordable to the mass consumer like us.
Overview

So let's take a good look at some of the best laptop bargain hunts in the market. You'd be surprised, most of these bargains come from brand name manufacturers like Lenovo, Dell and Fujitsu. This proves that you don't have to compromise quality when getting a laptop at rock-bottom prices.
Let's now take a look at the top 5 bargain laptops out in the market.
1. Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Widescreen

The Lenovo ThinkPad T61 is undeniably one of the most popular business laptops out in the market.
With a 14.1-inch widescreen and great specifications, this unit sells for less than a $1000 today if you buy direct from Lenovo.
2. Panasonic Toughbook CF-52

This notebook is a cousin of the latest Panasonic CF-Y7. The CF-52 has solid graphics, widescreen display and astounding battery life.
Add to the that the rugged exterior, and you have a wonderful winner of a laptop here. Last I checked this unit was going for about $1500.
3. Fujitsu Lifebook S6510

If you look at small laptops, you will find most of them lacking an optical drive. The Fujitsu Lifebook S6510 is, however, an exception.
It comes with an on-board optical drive and a 14-inch screen, yet maintains a super compact form. The price has gone done significantly and it now sells for about $1400.
4. Dell Inspiron 1720

The Dell Inspiron 1720 is a great desktop replacement laptop. What you'll like about the Inspiron 1720 is its massive 17-inch screen, along with integrated mobile broadband from Cingular, Sprint or Verizon (for US customers).
Its price has dropped a lot and is now about $1000.
5. Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830

The Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830 is a pretty new machine with some great features. It has a nice, attractive fusion design, 3GB RAM, internal optical drive, and Intel's latest processor technology.
All this for a street price of around $1100 - I'd say that's a bargain on any count.
