Online Laptop Sales - Discount Vouchers

A lot of people aren't aware of this, but you can often get online discount vouchers for buying a computer, whether you want a laptop or desktop model. For example, if you go to the Dell site and make it as far as the checkout/basket page, you will see a box where you can enter a voucher or coupon code. When you apply the coupon code, the price you have to pay will be reduced by a preset amount - for example, 10%.

I'll provide a link to just such a code at the bottom of the page, but there's more to know about laptops for sale online before you rush in and buy one. It's vital to know exactly what type of laptop will suit you before you spend your hard-earned cash...

Laptops for Sale - What's the Difference?

There are a number of things you need to know about a laptop before buying it. Whether these things are important to you will depend on what you want to use it for - so this means that there is no absolute 'best laptop' out there.

In terms of raw performance, you could go with an Alienware or Rock laptop - these tend to be targeted at gamers, and many of them have dual graphics cards and very large screens.

However, these would also be very bulky and heavy, and really quite useless for someone who wants to travel a lot and only plays low-power games such as World of Warcraft - or a business user who will never play games at all. If you are in this category, then you should pay particular attention to the size and weight of the machine, as well as its battery life. It might even be worthwhile investing in a second battery if you take a lot of long-haul flights...

To be honest, even the cheapest laptop available today is more than adequate for general office use - word processing, surfing the Internet, simple multimedia work such as ripping CDs, watching DVDs, or basic image editing.

You'll only need to be concerned about processor performance if you play the latest video games or work with audio or video in a more serious way - such as video editing using Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere, 3D image rendering or multichannel audio seqencing.

If you just want to work with Excel spreadsheets, Word and PowerPoint, then the only thing that's going to strain your PC is the amount of bloatware, adware or viruses on it. If you find that your computer can't do these basic things, then you need to do a spring-clean on your operating system. For some tips on how to keep your computer running smoothly, have a look at this PC maintenance guide.

Discount Coupons on Laptops for Sale

If you have decided it's time to get yourself a new machine, then you really should have a look around for discount vouchers or coupons. Many top manufacturers periodically offer significant reductions in this way - HP and Dell being the most common examples.

Obviously, if you're buying a state-of-the-art laptop such as the DELL XPS series, this can amount to quite a decent saving - you can get a couple of hundred quid off just for copying and pasting a password!

I only discovered this trick recently, but when I find a discount coupon I'll put a link to it here, so make sure to check back whenever you're looking for a laptop sale bargain!
