DJW Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 RV Looking for the Best Laptop New or Refurbished for under $300. My sisters wants one to give to an assistant she is hiring to do some data entry work at night from home. Would like Win 7 Pro 64 bit. 15.1 screen would be nice but 14 would work Big HD not a big deal as she will log into office network to do the input. I did not see anything this morning from New Egg Direct. Have not got flash msg yet for today. Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Joyce Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 My wife found a nice new 14" Dell on Dell's website yesterday for $260 that her sister ordered. They have one for $229.99 now using a Celeron processor, just go to dell and check for laptop deals for home. These are all Windows 8.1 machines, but you can add Classic Shell and they will behave much like Windows 7, if that is important. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.

skp51443 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I see some almost daily from NewEgg but I'm subscribed to their sale e-mails. I've gotten some decent Dells but the Lenovo I just got is a far better machine and was about $200. First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

RV_ Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 If anyone is still looking for great refurb price, specs, AND warranty, Woot today has the best deals I've seen yet on their factory refurbished laptops, All In Ones, and desktops, most Dells today carry Dell's one year full warranty. Woot sells until sold out which happens fast. They top of page items are available for one day only. If you are a mull it over type, and not ready to buy, Woot is not for you. I've bought two refurbished Dells with the full 1 year warranties and extended each. Woot has one shipping charge of five dollars once each day, then all of whatever you order until midnight of that day is covered by that first five dollar shipping charge too. So you could conceivably order a computer and five big things the same day, say lawnmowers, or rain barrels, and since you already paid one five dollar shipping charge their shipping is free of charge. Shipping is always five dollars. No returns unless item is defective on receipt. There are many more there than these. I get their daily email. The 1 year warranty is at the bottom of the description on each page. The specs are clear, just click that tab. Dell Inspiron 15-3541 15.6" Touch Laptop, 15.6" HD Touchscreen, AMD A6-6310 Quad-Core, 8GB DDR3, 1TB SATA, 802.11n, Bluetooth, Win8.1 - Black $329.99 http://www.woot.com/offers/dell-15-6-quad-core-touchscreen-laptop-24?ref=cnt_wp_7_2 This next one is available to handle at Best Buy for about $900. It is an All In One touch portable desktop meaning it has a battery that lasts about three hours. It is like an 18" very heavy tablet. It has its own flip out stands and all the latest ports. This is my idea of the perfect desktop/portable around the house. I'd be buying it if I hadn't already bought my 27" Dell All In One refurbished from Woot two years ago.

DJW Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Ralph Go to Newegg.com and look at their laptops both new and refurbished and pick one in your price point. I bought a refurbished HP Elite Book 8460P, Core i5 by Intel with a fresh install of Win 7 Pro last week for $249.00 and dropped in 8 gig's of Ram for $54 and was out the door for $305. It only has a 14 inch screen but for the type of work my sisters assistant will be doing it should work great. It's fast and is built really well. Bill and RV both have some very good suggestions up a couple posting from mine that would be worth taking a look at. If you have not used Win 8/8.1 I would stick with a laptop that came with Windows 7 Pro. Hope this helps. Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie79-82a Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Keep an eye on Woot.com today. They are having a Wootoff and computers are included. Just say a $149 mystery laptop listing. May find a bargain. Shipping is $5. 2019 Jayco 5th Wheel 28.5RSTS 2017 Ford F250 Super Duty 6.2L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Joyce Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 This is a group forum, so why would I PM someone I don't know a "deal"? Makes no sense. Anyone can click a link in the forum as easily as in a PM. We are not dealing drugs here, so I see no use for a PM. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.
