Looking for the Best Laptop from $300-$400

[mssavin]

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a good quality laptop from $300-$400 (my budget) 15.6", ethernet, wifi, usb, not too noisy, doesn't get too hot, not too slow. Everyday use...internet, email, youtube, movies...not many games. Any good deals around or brands/models I should look for? Thanks.

FutureShop and BestBest sell some excellent refurbished units. That's what I bought last time. Haven't had a problem, plus comes with 1 year warranty.

Thanks Mulock. I checked out some of the sales at those stores and found a laptop at Staples Depot. Thanks again for your suggestion.

They have also a deal in the blog section on dell online...I was surprised by the deal price.

Very good suggestion.I will kept this one in my mind.I was not aware Staples Depot does that..but I have just 1 Staple and it is not a depot one.

did you paid the new 'environtally taxes' or it is just a qc new law thing?

[mulock]

I paid the Enviro-Fee here in NS.

The one linked above is $498 not $329 now

I find Dell is slow to announce their sales, and then when the sale is active, it's only for a day or two. I would not pay $498 for that particular laptop.

cnet is great for reviews. if you have some models in mind and want to see more detailed info, or want a list of suggestions try taking a look there.

I bought that laptop yesterday!.. it does come up as $498, but I called dell and explained that I saw it online, etc and they asked me for the specs of it. I gave the specs to the guy who got approval from his manager to sell it at that price.

I read online somewhere else that it was a mix up as the one for $329 was supposed to be ubuntu, not windows

Hi,
Thanks I did check the dell site too. I agree with Barbiexxx. The Dell Vostro 2520 Laptop i3 with ubuntu is $349 and the Dell Vostro 2520 Laptop i3 with windows is $419. Just type in "vostro-2520" on the Dell website and you can order it. I went with the Acer i3 on Staples.ca for $399 and I did pay for the environmental tax... total with tax was $465.
