If you want to get a great deal on your next notebook computer purchase there’s a great trick that I’ve discovered. In electronics stores such as Fry’s Electronics they often sell refurbished laptops notebooks alongside their standard new models. This may not be such a new idea for you, but if you know the laptops rated well ahead of time, then if it’s been slightly used it shouldn’t make much of a difference. Fry’s has a 15 day no questions asked return policy, so you know that it hasn’t been used more than that. Also, if there’s only one sticker on the box then it’s only been used once. You can count the stickers to find out exactly how much it’s been used before you buy it.
