Yeah, the poster above me is right, if you can get dell...
by Alucard_Bravo - 9/9/06 12:51 PM In reply to: Dell by adkinsjmif you can get dell, go dell, they are probably the best pcs. If you cant go dell, try hp. Or if you need ease of use go (blech) apple.
(NT) Finance it or get a credit card!

If you want a good notebook for a low price, look into Gateway. They've had issues in the past but they keep getting better. I have a Gateway T1625 that I got for about $499 USD refurbished and it's fantastick.
Good Luck

Sorry, but site promotion is not allowed in these forums.
That's why I deleted your post.

Well, if that's the case...

Isn't the suggestion of "Get a Dell" implicitly promoting dell.com? I'm not trying to nit pick. I'm just pointing out that a question such as the OP asked almost begs for some kind of "site promotion" of a particular brand, whether the site is spelled out or not. So, it's kind of hard to avoid it.
Site promotion.

Debt Consolidation was not the issue here, and I will remove any post advertising such schemes unless they are specifically related to the thread discussion.
You really want these forums littered with that type of post?
Mark
Didn't see it.

No, I don't want the site littered with that type of post. However, since you deleted the entire post --and I never saw the original--I assumed it was a post pointing to a certain place to buy a certain pc.
For example, I thought it might have been "go to www.blahblahblah and get a gread deal on suchandsuch laptop!". That was, I think, a logical assumption on my part given the subject of the thread.
Comprendo?
You will normally not see such posts

re "cheap laptop"
by warrenrichards10 - 9/28/08 2:51 PM In reply to: The search for the cheap notebook! PLEASE HELP! by rayperez1973The dell option worked for me, (new Dell Vostro 1400) but have you considered second hand?, in Australia we got a mess load of pawn shops and in the main city of Brisbane at least 4 I can remember off the top of my head. They always have a range of laptops ( Mac and Pc) hocked or sold outright ( by yuppies ) and some of the gear that shows up is a valid option for those on a budget but remember “let the buyer beware” cause warranties don’t really exist and its creepy what’s on some hard drives.
Ps, keep away from net books the damm things are virtually crippled from birth.
