My co-worker just asked me for a cheap laptop, but I am beyond cheap, I firmly believe that you get what you pay for, but she will not listen when I mention a $400 laptop, she says she doesn't want to spend more than $250. That's ludicrous to me, so I reach out to you community and ask, in the very recent past, have you seen any deals for a laptop (basically for a girl that wants to surf the web/download W8 apps) in the $250 range? I have searched, but to no avail. She's nuts, but she's stubborn, anything more than $285 and she freaks. Any cheapies out there I can reveal to her?
