    Default Laptop??

    Hi!! It's been a while since I've been on here. I want to get back into camming but the screen broke on my laptop and I was told I'm better off just buying a new one. I'm in the market for a laptop under $300. I can't spend much right now. What are you all using??? Thanks!!

    Can't help you with a new laptop but I just want to say that if the only problem with your laptop is a broken screen, it's very easy to replace it yourself. I had dropped a laptop and shattered the screen. I bought a replacement screen for under £20 on EBay, and successfully fixed it after watching a couple of YouTube videos.

    Or you can buy a monitor to hook up to it (or use your tv). I don't even use my laptop screen...it's hooked up to a monitor and I keep my laptop on the bottom section of my desk and never even look at it lol.

    I have an old Toshiba laptop in my closet that I never use, keyboard pretty much gave out. ($1000 from Best Buy & was a piece of crap) I upgraded to a small/med tower nothing crazy fancy, still cost me over $900 for decent parts that could handle design work. (mind you this is years later) I've seen laptops that sell for $150, felt pretty cheap when I saw an 2GB HD Stream at Walmart! Might be able to find a better device on Newegg, but they can be pricey..

    Hmm...the best advice I could give is to order one from HSN or another place that offers payment plans. I'm looking into ordering one on flexpay and paying on it when I get paid for camming. Some of the computers are offered with free shipping, so maybe you could look into that?

    If your VGA port is working you can add on a monitor to your laptop.

    Either use a tv or separate monitor for the next month or so, that way you can save up. The difference between a $300 and $700 laptop are staggering. I had to save for mine for a couple months, but my $1000 laptop is a BILLION times better than the 4 year old Sony I was using and I'm really really glad I didn't cheap out. The graphics card and processor alone were worth it imo. As Sweet recommended, going the credit route isn't bad either. paypal, amazon, and many other online retailers have either credit cards or credit services. Personally I like being as close to debt free as possible, so I'd probably go the tv route for a month or two and save up what you can, then go from there. Many cammers use them regularly.

    I always recommend Woot.com for good deals on laptops. I got a refurbed i7 there for only $500 and it's awesome! There's always sales going on at computers.woot.com

    Some years ago when my son cracked my laptop's screen, I rented a brand new Toshiba laptop from Rent-A-Center to keep during the time period I'd be without my own laptop (while its screen was being replaced). I believe I paid $69 to rent it for 2 weeks, and the Rent-A-Center people delivered it to me, and then came by to pick it up on the day it was due. I thought that was pretty awesome.
