Sometimes PR people are very helpless and clumsy. They are so clumsy than can actually reveal a secret which has been very well kept by an important company, like Sony. Information outside the walls of the company is enough and a secret well kept for months is not exposed to the wide public. But we cannot accuse them, because if it were not for them, we would not know that Sony is about to release a line of cheap Sony laptops.

The story is very short. One of the people at the PR department of Quanta Computer (the most important laptop computers producer which design laptop computers for several big names and then sells them under their personal brand) was presenting a laptop computer based on the OpenBook laptop computer design of people at Via. This was happening at Computex 2008. By mistake, the man accessed the Properties window of the operating system where mass media representatives clearly saw that Sony was the producer of this laptop computer model.

Of course that after the audience noticed this and started asking questions, the Quanta Computer representative, being aware of his mistake, rapidly closed the window. But he was not fast enough, so pictures were taken before he actually managed to close the window. Therefore, the cheap Sony laptops created by Quanta Computer, will have a VX800 chip set, Via 1.6 GHz C7-M processor, 1 GB RAM memory, 60 GB hard disk, 8.9 inch display (1024 x 600 pixels), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Windows Vista as operating system.

Now that the secret has been discovered the only thing left is for Sony to officially announce the future cheap laptop, because we are also interested in knowing the name of this model as well. And we also want to find out how much we are going to have to pay for this model. Sony Corporation of America which is based in New York, NY, is an U.S. subsidiary of Sony Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Sony is the leading manufacturer of audio, video, communications and information technology products for consumer and professional market. Sony is one of the most wide ranging entertainment companies worldwide and it motions pictures, television, computer entertainment and music.

Sony’s main U.S. businesses include Sony Electronics Inc., Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc., and Sony Music Entertainment. Sony had annual sales of approximately $78.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, and it employs 171,300 people all over the world. I personally recommend that you buy such a piece of hardware, made by Sony, because this company has a very respectable tradition with electronics and you are sure not to go wrong when choosing to spend your hard earned money on a device conceived and made by the people at Sony. Here I do not just mean laptop computers, but also home theaters, DVD players, stereos and anything else that you can think of.

Indeed, there have been some problems between artists, such as George Michael, and branches of the Sony company, but this has no bearing on the devices they make and, after all, I am sure that you really do not need someone in the entertainment industry telling you what you need to spend your money on. They get paid to “like” or “dislike” various items, you know?

The best part when searching for used or refurbished laptops is that you can go for the top of the line laptop models. You can search for gaming laptops that where the best sellers one or few years ago. This is good when you need a little more performance than the average laptop user. This way you can have the best value for money. You can find refurbished laptops that are still in on the market and have a high price. There are a few places where you can find refurbished laptops, but the main credible sources are some laptop manufacturers and big computer retailers. You can find several types of refurbished laptops such as the ones that have scratches and dents but the customer still has returned them to get the money back for various reasons, laptops that have minor cosmetic damages done by accident, laptops that had minor hardware problems.

Regardless the problem these laptops have come back into the store or to the factory they have been remanufactured and retested to meet the same quality standards as the new ones. These laptops are working perfectly except the fact of some scratches, cracks or other cosmetic damage that has no impact on the overall performance of that laptop. People who buy refurbished laptop get a guarantee that starts from three months. This is good in the case that something might happen to your laptop such as hardware fails and you will have the chance to receive the money back or to receive a similar product with the same value. Many people prefer to search for refurbished laptops because of the lower price and also because of the quality of the products. When you receive a refurbished laptop you know that this has been thoroughly tested and it will function very well.

The price of the refurbished laptops might be in many cases more than 50% less than the original price when was sold as new, this price is influenced by the problem that laptop had. There are computer stores that sell improved refurbished laptop. This refers to the situation where that store has increased the performance of that laptop; they have added more RAM, a bigger hard drive, in some cases a faster processor and this will be added in the final price. Anyway this might not be always a good option, because you might pay more than for this type of improvement than you will pay for a better used or refurbished laptop.

When you search for a refurbished gaming laptop you can start your search on the manufacturer page, because all the manufacturers will have a section dedicated to gaming or extreme performance or whatever they will categorize the laptops that have the highest processing power and all the latest technology they can offer at a time. From here you will find which laptops are the best at a time and you can search for that model if you find it refurbished if all that interests you is performance at a lower price than the one in the store.

Users ask if it worth buying a laptop very cheap. There is no universal truth to answer this question. There is another question to ask before thinking to a good answer. How cheap is very cheap? If we think that very cheap will be $100 or less then the answer is simple. The laptops that can be bought with this amount of money have a few years old and come with obsolete technology that wouldn’t be useful for nobody. This laptops worth the money if they are bought as a toy for children to get acquainted with the technology. Now and then might come up a laptop with a decent configuration that has exterior damages.

The person that doesn’t care about the look of his laptop might buy one and use it as it is. The refurbished laptops are also a great choice to think when buying a laptop very cheap. The OLPC project has hit a wall because there aren’t many laptops from this category that could fall under the price threshold of $100. This project aim to provide laptops with decent configuration that cost under $100. The achievement of the goal set by this project will lead to a major leap forward into technology because more and more children from under developed country will have the opportunity to learn to use a computer.

Now let’s get back to the subject of this article. Cheap has different meanings for different people. Of course there is a thesaurus definition which would be enough for everyone to understand what cheap is. When it comes to laptops every user has his needs to be fulfilled by a laptop. Nobody wants to spend a lot of money on a brand new laptop with a huge amount of innovative technologies and with a lot of features. Users who need only a mobile device to surf the Internet, email, writing some documents might turn to netbooks.

Users who spend a lot of time playing games will turn to a high end laptop even if that laptop has a year or two since it came out on the market. Everyone wants to get the most for the money spent on a laptop or on any other product or service. Ebay is a good place to start the search for laptop very cheap. People sell directly through this website their personal laptops which in many cases might not be properly evaluated. There are people who have collected a few laptops over the years because they have bought new ones to keep up with the technology. Those people will surely not ask an arm and leg for a laptop that they already want to get rid of.

Newspaper classifieds are another place to search for very cheap laptops. Here local computer shops might advertise for promotions related to the area. People will sell their laptops at a very good price lower than the one from the stores. Real bargains are hard to find but they worth all the effort when they are found.

Anyone who has decided to buy a powerful laptop should put aside at least $500 for this acquisition if he wants a new product. The term powerful could have different means related to the way that laptop is used, the gamer will need a high speed graphic card on that laptop along with a display that can handle high resolution, another person who needs a laptop for intense computational work it will need a fast multi core processor that has a lot of cache memory and also a lot of RAM installed on that laptop. The rule of thumb is that laptop considered for high performance already has a balanced configuration such as fast processor, enough RAM, dedicated graphic card and in many cases high speed SSD installed. The additional features that can be found in high performance laptops are Blu-ray unit, multiple format card reader, integrated webcam, high fidelity speaker system.

Regardless of how much power one laptop might have it is not a good idea to invest a lot of money in one thinking that the model bought with that price will stay in top for many years and will handle lots of future applications and games. There are lots of high end laptops that have a price similar to a small family car. The rule of thumb is to buy the laptop that will increase your productivity for at least a few months until the software producer will release another version with higher processing demands. The policy of game producers and also of any software company is to release versions that will run on the majority of laptops and computer to gain profit from the sales. Professional users that demand high performance laptop will not go to the buy the latest version for their application mainly because it will be a useless waste of money for a few additional features and graphical changes.

Performance and productivity are the key factors when choosing a high end laptop. The price is one feature to look for also but is not as important as the laptop features. Any power user or gamer will start searching for a new laptop with the feature they need the most performance, if a power user needs lots of RAM for multitasking will start searching for the laptops that have that amount of RAM installed and after that when he has found the laptops that meet this criteria will search for the price.

I am not saying that starting your search for powerful laptops thinking only at a price range is not a good idea, but focusing on this anyone will miss lots of models that have the performance needed but exceed the price with a few dollars. All powerful laptops can run Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Vista or any Linux distribution. The screen size and the native resolution are also very important for any user from gamers to vector graphic professionals. The battery life of such models can be from 4 hours up to 12 hours. Many laptop manufacturers offer their clients a few options when choosing the battery for their brand new laptop. Changing the standard battery with one more powerful can be done also later after the purchase.
