We know that you're no fool otherwise you wouldn't be looking for cheap laptops, but here is a guide that shows you what you should be looking for and simplifies the jargon that you read. Are you ready? Then read on.

When you go into a shop are you completely overwhelmed by the amount of jargon that’s written down beside the laptop you want? It talks of RAM space and USB ports. All you want is something that lets you go on the internet and buy the occasional pair of shoes! Wouldn’t it be much easier to choose a laptop if they were put into sections regarding the user? For example if they had net books in the teen "must do their homework while also being able to spend hours on facebook" section. Wouldn’t it be easier if they put the really expensive laptops full to the brim with technology in the work related "must have the most expensive to make me look good to potential clients" section. Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that and we are left picking a laptop that we can only hope deals with what we need. Well here is how to overcome that and get the cheap laptop you need.

The most important thing to remember is the bigger the hard drive, the more you will be able to store. Now if you only intend to use your cheap laptop for surfing the net then a big hard drive won’t matter. If you are using it for work purposes and have hundreds of files to store then a big hard drive is essential. If you need a large hard drive then a large amount of RAM is key too. This makes the laptop go quicker and keeps you running at a steady pace. These are the two key things to look out for when buying a cheap laptop but other things to consider are the components such as high tech graphics cards, DVD re-writers, USB ports and webcams. All of these can be handy to have but not essential and only end up costing you more when you are buying your cheap laptop.

If you want to know where to look for cheap laptops then I suggest finding a reputable online store. Internet stores are much cheaper than high street stores because they have more space for stock and don’t have to pay out a fortune for premises! This all adds to the saving that is passed on to you and you receive the benefits. For a truly great laptop deal, search "cheap laptops" now and see if you can get yourself a bargain basement deal.
