Do you want a laptop? I know I did. Now that I have one, I can see how much easier it is to be able to get on the internet and not be trapped to the desktop. Getting one for free is even better. Most laptop companies are struggling to sell computers today because of a "recession". You would be surprised what kind of deals you can find if you just take the time to look.
Why do you need a laptop?
Freedom and mobility can also have other great facets that many don't realize. Besides being cool and hanging out at Panera Bread, having a laptop can help out with other things too! Lots of audio video setups can utilize a laptop with a wi-fi connection to stream video content. Laptops can also be used to tune automobiles!
Before you buy a laptop, read this.Check out as many offers as you can before committing to one, because companies today are struggling for sales and you should try all barter techniques you can think of. Most will even barter the price to sometimes as low as 20% of marked msrp. Contact them and offer them slightly lower price than what they post. You would be surprised how many actually take it. I bought my Dell, Sony, and Toshiba laptops all brand new from various venders due to back stock, overstock, and other unmarked deals they have at the moment. You would be surprised at what 10 minutes of research can do!
