Laptops On Sale – Acer Aspire Timeline
It’s amazing how small they are making Laptops these days. I guess just like the cell phone industry, as time goes on the products keep getting smaller. Recently while looking for laptops on sale, I’ve found one that shocked me.
The Acer Aspire Timeline laptop has to be the thinnest as well as the lightest laptop with a normal size laptop screen. I know there are those little laptops out there for $300 , but they don’t have the RAM nor the hard drive space as most others. The Timeline comes with three different size screen to chose from. The smallest being 13.3″ and the largest measuring at 15.6″. The Acer Aspire Timeline models are all about once inch think, with the heaviest one weighing only 5.3lbs.
As for the quality of the laptop, it’s just a good as any other brand of laptops out there. The Acer Aspire Timeline has at least 3 GB of RAM as well as 160GB of hard drive. You can have more of each if you want, but if you’re looking for very cheap laptops, you will easily get by with the basic hardware. The lowest price that I’ve found for one of these is $399.
As usual, there are many different ways that you could upgrade the base unit, but it will cost you quite a bit more. If you’re going to be just on the internet, checking emails, or any other of the basic things, the basic unit is more than what you’ll need. If someone who likes to play online games, or some of the those types of game that you need to download on to your laptop, then you will need a little more muscle in your laptop.
Either way the Acer Aspire Timeline Notebook is a good laptop for sale and will do what you”ll need it to do. With it being one of the thinnest ones out there, you won”t have a problem carrying it around.

Why You Should Be Getting A Netbook
You’ve probably seen great netbook dealsadvertised in many computer stores these days. Yes, netbooks are making a big splash in the world of computing, and the reason is simple — they’re cheap and yet they come with great functionality.
When netbook was first introduced in 2008, it came with just enough processing power to handle non-CPU extensive tasks such as web browsing, email checking, and document processing. This has however changed over the years. The quality of netbook keeps improving. Netbook manufacturers like Asus, Acer, Dell, and Toshiba continue to release new netbook models with better specs and design over the years. Now it has come to a point where a netbook is almost as capable as a standard laptop — some of them even have enough horse power for gaming and high definition movies playback!
Of course, there are some features that a netbook still cannot compete with a standard laptop. For instance, a netbook is lack of optical drive, having a lower-end CPU, and comes with smaller screen and keyboard. But as a netbook user, I can tell you that these “limitation” actually give some advantages to the netbook. Here’s how:
- Lower-end CPU: Most netbooks today are using the Intel Atom CPU. While it’s not as powerful as the processors that other mainstream computers are using, it’s more energy efficient and thus providing better endurance. The Asus Eee PC 1005PE, one of the netbook with the best endurance, can provide up to 14 hours of battery life!
- Lack of optical drive: There are two benefits for not including an optical drive in a netbook. First, it drives the netbook’s price lower; and second, the netbook is lighter. You can always get an external optical drive when you need it.
- Smaller keyboard and screen: This makes the netbook more portable and incredibly easy to be carried around.
Now comes to the most important question: which netbook is the best? There’s no exact answer for that. Asus is good at creating netbook with great endurance; Toshiba has the best keyboard design; while Acer is well known for their competitive netbook price. In terms of popularity though, Acer does seem to be one step ahead of the rest — affordability is still the most important factor in this era of economic crisis. Just look at some Acer netbook deals online, and you will be surprised by how cheap these mini computers can be!

Very Cheap Laptops
If you are like me you probably do not have a whole lot of money to spend on a new laptop. So here are some suggestions on how to get the best out there for your buck when looking for very cheap laptops.
First things first I highly recommend buying a laptop from a brand that you are familiar with. You go to your local Best Buy and see a Samari brand and an Acer brand well that would be an easy choice you would go with the Acer. Brand names are very close in cost to those of non brand names except that no name brands may end up going out of business and you are out of luck when you want a part for your computer.
Memory is very unimportant in my opinion when you do not have a whole lot of money. You go to the store and the salesman says you must have 3 GB of memory or else your computer won’t do this or this. Wrong you do not need very much memory at all especially if your main purpose for the computer is to use the internet. Hard drive is another issue when looking for laptops a high capacity one is not needed. I can go on and on with all the different technical aspects of what is not needed but let me change things up a bit and tell you what to look for.
First off think about what you are using the laptop for. If you will be using it on long trips a laptop with a longer battery life will help a great deal. What size of screen do you want the smaller the cheaper. Do you want a bulky laptop or one that is slim and light in weight?
So now that I have gotten you to think about those features pick and choose which ones are most important to you as you will not get everything in a low priced laptop. Just remember the things that should be the most important are things that are almost impossible to change or would be very expensive like the screen size, the design, the hard drive, the weight of the laptop, CPU etc. Cosmetics like memory, the battery, and DVD player can all be changed in the future and added for a low cost.
Just do a little bit of research before jumping in and buying laptops on sale and always remember if you buy the older model there’s a good chance you will get it a whole lot cheaper than the newer model.
