If you're looking for a new laptop, you may have noticed that they can get quite expensive. There are also a lot of different models, so it may be hard to compare what each one has, and which one is a better deal. There are ways to find great deals on laptops though, if you're willing to take a look and do a little research.

When looking to buy a laptop, one of the first things you should do is figure out exactly what you need it for. If you're looking to travel a lot, you probably want a very small and light laptop that is portable and easy to take with you. If on the other hand you will be using your laptop as a desktop replacement, you will most likely want one with a big screen.

You should also think about what type of applications you will be running on it. If you will only be using Microsoft Office and the Internet, you don't really need that much memory, but if you will be playing games or dealing with graphics, you may want a laptop that has a lot of memory.

Once you know what you're looking for, you can then more easily compare prices to find the best deals on the laptop you want. If you look online, you will more easily be able to compare the different laptops at different stores. If you wait until a holiday comes up, you will also usually find great deals on laptops, as many stores use them to get people to shop at their stores to buy that and other items.

If you can't wait for a holiday though, try to see if you can find some sort of coupon or discount. Many of the big brands such as Dell, HP, and Toshiba often have coupons out so you can get a laptop from them for less. A store might have a really great deal in their weekly circular. If you keep looking, you will find that most of the time you will be able to find something to make the price less than you thought it would be.
