If you're a bargain shopper looking to get the most bang for your buck, you'll find no shortage of deals on the Internet.

And that's particularly true in the fast-changing world of laptop computers, where you'll find three bargain sources right at your fingertips:

1. Clearance Sales

Just like many brick-and-mortar retail stores, many computer manufacturer websites have clearance sections. On these web pages, you can find great deals on last year's leftovers.

These are all new products (unless otherwise stated) and carry their original warranties. The only difference is that the price has been reduced.

Of course the manufacturers aren't the only ones with clearance merchandise.

Major electronics and office supply retailers also include clearance sections on their websites, where you may be able to find the laptop bargain of your dreams.

2. Refurbished Laptops

Factory refurbs represent another great bargain opportunity. It works something like this:

• Joe Blow buys a new laptop, but decides a week later he doesn't like the color.
  

• He takes it back to the store within the store's stated return period, so the store is stuck with it.
  

• Since they can't sell the laptop as new, the store sends it back to the manufacturer to be "refurbished."
  

• The factory inspects that laptop to make sure everything works right, and then ships it out to a retailer that deals in refurbs.
  

• The refurb retailer then sells it to you at a great discount off the original price.
