Where to find a cheap laptop

Post by Ravensnest »

I certainly do not know everything not even by half. But I can pick a decent machine and know a pos when I see one. I have a Bachelors in Computer Science, and a bunch of Microsoft certs for hardware and software.

Where can I go buy a cheap laptop this morning? Or shops to look. It only needs to have decent RAM, built in wifi, Activated windows with Microsoft office 2013 or newer, Bluetooth a plus. I don't need anything remotely high endish.

Ty in advance

I got my last 2 laptops from Lucky. You could start there then just walk a couple blocks in both directions and see if the stores have what you want.

I bought quite a good one here: http://www.saromcomputerkh.com/products/laptop/used

Prices negotiable of course, no matter where you buy.

I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.

People who travel will probably find better value in their home country. You can get better value for money in Australia, if you know what you are looking for.
