Compaq Presario CQ60-211dx yours for $350 (reconditioned)

For $350 with free shipping, you can get the HP Compaq Presario CQ60-211DX Notebook from Buy.com! That's right, just $350. You heard me!

The laptop is not chopped meat, it is quite reasonably-specified considering the price, it has a 15.6" widescreen display, 2gb memory, 160gb hard disk, dvd burner, and a 2.16 GHz Intel Celeron Processor 585 with Vista Basic. This is factory reconditioned!

This is a Celeron processor, so if you usually run processor-heavy applications, you may want to consider a laptop with a faster processor. But for general-use this should be fine! After all, people are singing the praises of netbooks, and they only have an Atom processor.

Again, before we go, please keep in mind that this is a factory-reconditioned unit.

The price is just $16, with free shipping and no rebates. And if you like this, you can get up to ten units per person! So stock up if you are a floppy fan :)

Compaq CQ-410us yours for $400 after rebate

You don't have to spend big bucks to get a functional computer. Sure, it may not be as slick and pretty as a MacBook, it may not have the flashy specs, but it can get things done without breaking the budget.

One such laptop is the Compaq CQ-410us offered this week by Office Depot for $400 after a $30 mail-in rebate. This is quite an interesting spec-sheet, with 2gb memory, 160gb hard disk, and 15.6" widescreen display (16:9). Also of interst, it includes a integrated numeric key pad, 2 hours and 45 minutes of battery life, an NVidia video card, and all the other usual things.

As you can see, if you don't need heavy-duty processing power, this can get a lot of things done, and of course can play widescreen moveis since it is at 16:9. Worth considering for sure.
