Hi there are many rumors that big manufacturers like dell or HP or compaq get their notebooks for less than $50 and sell them for $500 each. I wanted to know how I could buy one for $99 brand new. 10 points!

Yup right now you can get a new laptop from circuit city, on the day after thanksgiving, for $99.99 if you sign up with Vonage for a phone plan... It will probably cost you more than $99.99, but if you are considering switching your phone provider its a steal! Check out the details below...

Most big manufacturers over-price their computers. Especially Dell and HP. Check out a 'white-box' laptop, which means that while you don't have a brand-name on the cover, the parts inside are still the same. check out a wholesale company for this.

If you find a notebook for less than $99, I've got some great land in Florida you might want to invest in.

There is no way you can get a decent laptop for 50 bucks unless its an old machine for parts...
The rumors you have heard are not true, HP and Dell both manufacture their own laptops and do not buy them for 50 bucks...

You'll never find a brand new laptop for $99. You may want to check some "Black Friday" sales (the day after Thanksgiving) to find some good deals on laptops, but you may have to camp out outside the store to get it...
