Laptops are a good alternative to desktop computers for many college students, writes The Globe and Mail's Jill Colvin in "Pinch a Penny, Buy a Pint." They are easier to transport and even the more basic models can suit a student's needs. But with many laptops surpassing their desktop counterparts in terms of price, how are cash-strapped students to fit them into their budgets?

Fortunately, with a little resourcefulness, is possible to find cheap, or even free, laptops. Students looking to get a free notebook should consider the following tips.

Free Student Laptops Through Mailing Lists

Students should join as many mailing lists as possible through their university or college to increase their odds of finding a free, student-level laptop. Sometimes, professors or graduating students will use mailing lists to give away items they no longer need. This is also a good way to obtain free printers or furniture. Students should ensure they check their email frequently, as these items are often available on a first-come, first-served basis.
