If you are traveling a lot and you need to use your computer while being on the road or in another city, then you should definitely buy yourself a laptop. A laptop is actually a portable computer - it can do the same tasks as any PC, only that it is much smaller and highly portable. It also has an integrated battery, meaning that you can use without needing a power source (for a few hours, depending on the model you have). So in case you have decided to buy one, you should first make some research on the market and be sure the find the best deal on a laptop computer.
The easiest way would be to search on the internet, on the official sites of the laptop producers and see which company offers the best technical details and features on a laptop, at the smallest price. And then, after you found the model you want, you can begin searching on retail stores and auction sites, and see where you can find that model for the smallest price. And only after that you can say that you made a very good deal.
There are a lot of good producers of notebooks on the market, and here are some examples: Hewlett Packard, Asus, Dell, Acer, Toshiba, Lenovo, Sony, Fujitsu, MSI and Apple. But today we'll focus on just one of these producers, and we'll discuss about just one of their models. Let's take for example the company Dell, and the model: Dell Studio 14 z. You can find this laptop (refurbished) for a price of just 479 dollars on the site geeks.com. It comes with quite good technical details that will allow you to do any kind of computer activity you want (such as: watching a movie, listening to some music, playing a video game, or doing more serious stuff such as editing documents and writing emails). It has a 14.1 inch wide screen display, that will offer you quite a nice video experience. It also has a built in webcam, so that you can keep in touch with friends and family through a video conference, and of course it has 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN. Unfortunately this model does not have an optical drive, so you have just one possibility: to buy an external optical drive, that will be connected through an USB port.
