Depending on the budget you have set for your new laptop, several options are available to you. Purchasing online is usually less expensive on the front end with retailers like Amazon.com but you will need to figure in the cost of shipping/handling. If your area has TigerDirect.com stores, you should be able to find comparable laptops in stock. If you're not sure of the requirements you'll need on your new computer, a retailer such as Best Buy can give you expert advice.
