I randomly chose three laptops to price check through each option. While each laptop isn’t available on every site, the chart gives some information on some of the varying prices you may see as you research your own laptop. Even if a specific site offers a lower price for one laptop, it could offer a higher price for a different one. I recommend that you do your research and find the best option for you.
