Since the time I wrote about some shopping comparison sites where you can find laptops, I've come across two more. Actually, the two I came across were via StumbleUpon notifications. I'm not really into social networking anymore, but there are still some people who think I am.
Spoofee.com
Spoofee.com is an odd name for a shopping site, but I guess the name isn't as important as the deals you can find there. Using the "deal search" box, I searched for notebooks and received several pages of results. Now, some of them are laptops and some are laptop accessories, but the deals are there. If you search for hot pink laptops, you'll probably find some there (I didn't search for that — I don't do pink).
The thing that struck me about this site is that they tell you how to get the best deal on each item — things like special customizations, rebates and coupon codes.
Affordable Computers
Affordable Computers is a name that sounds a bit more like a shopping site should. I didn't know what to expect when I started browsing the notebook computers category, but I can tell you one thing: These aren't "brand new" computers.
Every notebook listed shows that they're refurbished and reconditioned. Make no mistake about pricing, however, because these aren't cheap refurbished laptops. The prices look to be comparable to brand spanking new laptops coming from unopened boxes.
I don't know whether a new, unopened and untested laptop or a refurbished and reconditioned laptop is a safer purchase. It seems to me that a refurbished laptop would be safer because whatever was found wrong has now been fixed (supposedly). In my past experiences with computer components, refurbished was indeed the better route to take.
Laptop Shopping Resources
I'm sure I'll come across more laptop shopping sites as time progresses, even if I'm not looking for them. I'll be sure to point you to them when I do.
