Laptops have many many benefits over desktops like own backup energy, portability, less space required and many more. For these reasons laptops are being popular quickly. Laptops with the latest technology are introduced to the market. However a good configuration laptop may be beyond your budget. Following are some tips for buying a laptop within your tight budget:

1) Buy cheap laptop with older technology
Rapid advance in technology makes it meaningless to buy the latest technology at a high price. A older version can still satisfy all of your needs. 

2) Buy used or refurbished laptop
The depreciation value of a laptop is too high that after one year in the market, a laptop can easily lose half its value. So if you are looking for a cheap laptop, look for one which is close to one year old..

3) Buy laptop from power users
I like to buy electronic gadgets including laptops from hard core power users or gamers. Because gamers or power users usually require the latest and most powerful technology to run their games or power hungry applications. They often will not settle for second best. They also have the tendency to chase after the latest technology. So after one year, they will be bored of what they have and will look to sell off their laptops so that they can buy a new one. 

4) Search through local online classifieds
Search through local online classifieds of your own city to find out the best offer for used laptops and even for the cheapest new laptop models.

5) Get cheap laptop from reputable manufacturer
This is very important because if you are buying used laptop you don't get any service warranty or replacement warranty. For used laptops the chances of requiring servicing is higher than a new laptop. So if you buy from a reputable manufacturer, you will save alot of  time when your laptop require servicing.
