When you’re looking for cheap laptops for personal or business use you have a choice between new, used and refurbished. These days the words “cheap” and “new” don’t often have a lot in common. In fact, any new laptop that’s worth buying is going to set you back $1,000 or more. You could opt instead for a used laptop. But they typically come with a ton of baggage, most of it hidden.

Here at Affordable Computers in Wheat Ridge we’ve had a front row seat to watch the evolution of Windows over the years. Most new versions (with the possible exception of XP) left a lot to be desired and were constantly in need of patches. Windows 10 however, is a horse of a different color. Most professional reviews have hailed it as the operating system Microsoft should have released years ago. If you have a computer that’s still running Windows 7 or 8, or even Vista or XP it’s time to consider upgrading to Windows 10.
