    Some manufactures such as Dell will send you an e-mail notification when a deal pops up (you have to sign up on their mailing list). Others, may just randomly find one while browsing on the web. There's also several websites that are dedicated to finding online deals such as slickdeals.net and hot-deals.org.

    Check out TechBargains- LINK

    You can choose the "Cheap Laptops" link on the main page and see all the latest deals from a variety of manufacturers and resellers. Or you can select the specific "Dell Coupons", "HP Coupons", etc. to see a specific manufacturer's deals and/or coupons.

    The next best source is right here in this forum! There are several NBR users, myself included, who always try to share good deals when we find them...or help other folks find some what they need! :D

    Well Thanks Folks,

    Right now I am using following for my quick references:

    Dealnews - email alerts
    Retailmenot - email alert
    Dell -email alerts

    Moreover for all good sites I have grab their RSS and watching them with feeddeamon software for RSS so I can know every post of all sites

    Cheapdeals101 - dealbook (still m learning but it is a good tool too)

    Previously I was using netvibes for catching all RSSs on one page...

    Thanks again....

    I like xpbargains.com and cheapstingybargains.com (and of course slickdeals.net).
