Tip: To locate Tiger's Lenovo-IBM laptops, click on the Notebooks tab, and then click Shop By Brand in the left column.

TigerDirect offers a large selection of brand new, refurbished, and Grade A "off-lease" IBM laptop computers. ("Off-lease" means that the PC was previously leased to a corporate customer, and then returned to IBM, cleaned up, thoroughly checked, and repackaged for sale. Grade A means that the computer appears to be virtually new, having no cosmetic blemishes.) And TigerDirect's prices are very competitive.

Tip: The only way to locate Geek's IBM laptops is to click Laptops in the left-column category list, and then browse for Lenovo-IBM brand PCs.

Computer Geeks doesn't have the largest selection of IBM laptop computers. And most that they offer are either refurbished or factory reconditioned. But they do offer some of the lowest prices online. And, by the way, Geek's is well known for their excellent customer support.
