Laptops Under $100 are not for everyone.  In fact many people will
joke about buying a laptop under 100 because in their opinion they
don';t believe that you can buy a laptop under $100 and that you

for Used Laptops Under $100:

New Laptops Under $100

New laptops under $100 will usually be laptops that are called mini

$100.  These laptops are best used for surfing the web and email
access.  Theses inexpensive laptops have small displays and usually

Used Laptops Under $100

A laptop that is called a used laptop usually is not the same as a
Refurbished Laptop and will be sold on eBay by individual sellers.
There are some great buys to be had when you can find one of the used
laptops that have been well taken care of by their owner and in some
cases are as good as new.  You will be able to tell the condition by
the photos that accompany the auction listing.  If you have questions it is a good idea to contact the seller and if needed ask him/her to
take some additional pictures so you can see and judge the condition of the
laptop.

Refurbished Laptops Under $100

If the laptop is described as a refurbished laptop that means it has
under gone a testing and reconditioning process by the seller in order
to call it refurbished.  A refurbished unit should come with all of
the items that were sold with it originally.  You should be prepared
to buy a new battery because frequently one of the conditions of an
older laptop is that the battery will no longer hold a charge.
