To get cheap laptops, you are required to know what specs to focus on. In this section I shall review some of my experience in acquiring inexpensive notebook computers. There are some important specs that everyone is looking at, they're:

Cpu:

This is actually the specification you want to concentrate on, if you're comparing two versions of notebook computers. (for example, two laptops have the same cost but one offer higher processor speed along with the other one provides higher RAM, which one are you going to pick?) Obviously, the response is selecting the one with greater processor speed. Why? it is straightforward. You can't change the cpu of the laptop once you bought them. Secondly, RAM is really inexpensive today and is replaceable.

What processor to select?

That actually depends on your own budget. In case you have additional dollars to spare. Get a higher-speed processor and also your laptop computer will perform marginally better. Don't get too power up if you are contemplating sparing some money on this particular specification. Always pay attention to your budget. They're lots of great deals out there, only continue searching:) I would propose spend additional 5 to a large number of your budget on this.

RAM

Most of the time people wind up spending additional $100 to $300 just to get a few gig of RAM. I am going to set least focus on these specification, like I understand that I am able to change them later. Notebook generally comes with two slots of RAM. As regard on how to purchase the right RAM for your own notebook, check it out at any computer store. They are eager to assist you, occasionally even change them for you. In case you are bashful or the shop sales guy is not friendly.

Weight

That is tricky. Why? sometimes you may think that you travel a good deal. but end up setting the laptop in your room a lot of the time. If you are a casual user, who do not have to bring your notebook with you everywhere you go then discount this spec. You pay for the portability & most of time you'll have to pay a higher cost to get the exact same spec of notebook. Strive to visualize where are you going to make use of your notebook most regularly and you will get your response without delay.

Screen Dimensions

To obtain laptops under 100, you will always opt for 15 inch display (15 to 15.9 inch to be unique) Why? Here is the standard size where the manufacturer mass produce. Should you-go an inch higher or lower, its gonna cost you. (about $100 or more - depends on the brand). The second thing is if you want a bigger display, go get a larger external monitor for a less expensive cost and of better quality (effects and size).

Hard drive
Hard drive now is cheap and you can get an external hard drive (small USB powered hard drive) for an inexpensive cost. 5400 RPM is good and 7200 RPM is better. Don't look for size. Look for speed (RPM). If you want extra low-speed memory, you may always get them later for a really cheap price.

Video memory

In the event you play games within your notebook (after all graphic demanding games), then you certainly might someone to spend more money to get a dedicated video memory (graphic cards in a nutshell). I really do not recommend buying a gaming laptop. Why? you not only need to have a dedicated video memory, you also need to have a faster processor, higher RAM and also a faster drive Click This Link.
