Take a look at dell, they offer good deal. Also you can pay a visit to best buy, around here in montreal they sell refurbished compaq computer for a joke.
If "brand" is not your think, well, hmm then i don't know..
If you want a laptop and don't mind to order thru internet, a guy near my place run a store, it's all open box, but in "like new" condition stuff visit him at
www.bestcost.ca not sure if the site is all french or english
