Looking for the cheapest Laptop with largest Screen?

Dec 28, 2011 12:08 AM

Does anyone know a good deal for a cheap computer but with a large screen? I'm going to use it for small activities like internet browsing and editing documents. So Far... I see a 16" for ~$340 refub here http://www.amazon.com/Asus-K60I-Dual-Notebook-Refurbished/dp/tech-data/B003BJOOCW/ref=de_a_smtd

I'm not limiting myself to 16", I'm more into the cost instead. Any cheap ones around 15.4? I think 12 is my absolute minimum...

THANKS!

You ask the wrong question.

You specify two vague, elastic constraints:
-- lowest cost
-- biggest screen
It makes the search too subjective.

It is easier to find the best laptop for under $xxx dollars.
Or the lowest price laptop with a screen larger than Y.

But in any case, I advise you "Don't do it!"
Large screen laptops are a royal pain.
* Big screens use more power,
* they cost more,
* they are heavier,
* they are awkward to handle/move,
* they break more easily.

Be happy with something in a 14" screen, then take the money that you save and buy an inexpensive, BIG, desktop monitor. We have seen 20" screens and larger for $99 or less.

When you are home, plug up the big screen and enjoy the dual screen real-estate. When away from home you have a convenient, easier to use portable.

I say this from experience.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
