Tiger Direct has an Acer Aspire 3690 2900 Refurbished Notebook PC for only $400. It comes with a 1.6 Ghz Celeron M processor, 512mb of RAM, a 60GB hard drive, wireless g, a 15 inch screen, and a CDRW/DVD combo drive.

Tiger Directs has a bunch of great deals on laptops. Check out their List of Cheapest Laptops.

If you are looking to buy a laptop cheaply, the Dell Outlet is a great place to look. You save money no matter what type of PC laptop you are buying by going through the Dell Outlet. The only problem is that quanities are limited, so good deals disappear quickly. If you check often enough you may find a great deal.

For example right now I am seeing an Inspiron 1501 with a gig of ram and a AMD Turion 64 Dual Core - 1600 processor for $469. The equivalent system costs $699 through Dell Small Business.
