In these tough times everyone is looking for a bargain therefore, you'll find no shortage of deals on the Internet.

And that's particularly true in the fast-changing world of notebook computers, where you'll find three bargain sources right at your fingertips:

1. Clearance Sales

Just like many major retail stores, many computer manufacturers websites have clearance sections. On these pages, you can find great deals on last year's left overs.

These are all new products (unless otherwise stated) and carry their original warranties. The only difference is that the price has been reduced.

Of course the manufacturers aren't the only ones with clearance merchandise.

Major electronics and office supply retailers also include clearance sections on their websites, where you may be able to find the laptop bargain of your dreams.

2. Refurbished Laptop Retailors

Factory refurbs represent another great bargain opportunity. It works something like this:

Joe Bloggs buys a new computer, but decides a week later he doesn't like the colour.
He takes it back to the shop ...
... within the store's stated return period, so the shop is stuck with it.
Since they can't sell the laptop as new, the store sends it back to the manufacturer to be "refurbished."
The factory inspects that laptop to make sure everything works right, and then ships it out to a retailer that deals in refurbs.
The refurb retailer then sells it to you at a great discount off the original price.

Buying a refurb can literally save you pounds.

3. Online Auctions

You can always logon to an auction website and find a great deal on a used computer. However, beware!
Buying anything used carries with it some risk. Buying a used laptop carries more risk than most people should be willing to take.
When you buy a used laptop from a private party, you don't get any sort of warranty.although most people say it works who really knows.
But what happens if your laptop dies two weeks after it arrives? You're out of luck, that's what.

Ebay is a good auction site and they do have a sort of safety net in the feedback score,i have always found these useful when buying any articles off of there.and you can pick up some great deals
There are enough bargains available on warrantied laptops that all but the most meager budgets should be able to avoid buying used.
Stick to clearance and refurb machines if you are really anxious about the risk and you'll save yourself hundreds on your next laptop computer.
