5 . When you’re in the market to buy a cheap laptop, there are many factors to consider. Do you want to go with a refurbished(翻新的) laptop or a new one? Are you willing to give up some features for a cheap laptop?
Decide what features you need. If you are only going to be using your new laptop for word processing, connecting to the Internet, and email, you can save much more than someone who will need a laptop capable of supporting gaming etc.
Do you want a Netbook or a Notebook? Netbooks are the new option for smaller, cheaper laptops.
Choose an appropriate processor.
Check the memory. Just as with the processor, cheap laptops are generally going to have less memory. If you are using your new laptop in a limited way, this may be just fine for you. Be sure to check that the memory will be enough for your everyday uses.

8 . I really place many people into two categories when it comes to shopping. The first is people who simply love doing window shopping and do it quite regularly maybe because they are really good at spotting bargains. The other category, which I suppose is obvious that people who simply dislike shopping for anything. They find it very boring, and frustrating and do not particularly like going to their local shopping malls for anything. They will probably do anything to try and get away with shopping for gifts and I had the same problem until I discovered something.
The simple discovery was to shop online for everything. This is especially fantastic when you are shopping online for gifts because there are so many websites out there dedicated to(致力于)supplying all kinds of gifts for every occasion you can think of. The greatest thing is that you can do this from the comfort of your own home without having to leave and sit at a computer with a nice mug of coffee to help. Researching is always important because you need to make sure whoever you are going to purchase this before is going to like it. You need to make sure of your researched pricing to ensure that you are getting good value for money. Generally, online you will always find things cheaper than buying something in a store in your local shopping mall. The fact that the website does not have many overheads with staffing and rent(租赁)gives them the opportunity to sell products at a reduced price.
It’s also important that you make sure the website you purchase things from has a good reputation. Check their customer service and also read any feedback that they may have from customers who have already made a purchase.

10 . Our economy runs on consumption, especially during the holidays—we as consumers are overwhelmed by emails and ads about the newest holiday gifts. Buying a brand new gift for a loved one, we may feel generous and not feel the environmental impact. But with millions of people doing the same, the resources spent really add up.
Journalist Annalise Griffin recommends people rethink the value of gift-giving and shop in an effective eco-friendly way.
A gift doesn’t have to be expensive, says Griffin. In the holiday shopping rash, it’s easy to forget why we give in the first place. She thinks it’s wise to adopt a more open-minded approach. For instance, pack a gift box with homemade cookies or get the whole family in on the act of paring down by tie-dyeing（扎染）white clothes from a local secondhand store. They may not be pricey but the love behind it counts.
As for green shopping, Griffin practices her way of buying used items instead of new ones. She mentions several websites and online communities where people can buy, give away or trade secondhand items. Her go-to for shopping for clothes and housing items include the more familiar eBay and Poshmark. For vintage（复古）goods, she recommends shopgoodwill. com.
Whether we’re making a commitment to cutting out extra spending or showing concern for the environment, it’s vital to share our ideas with the loved ones. It may be hard to convince a teenager not to buy the latest iPhone, so having these conversations early on can go a long way.
