Marc Saltzman runs through five ways to

find the cheapest price on Windows 7 while staying 100% legal and legit

. If you're a student, a software developer, a Windows Vista user, if you don't mind

buying Windows 7 OEM

and eschewing the fancy packaging and manuals, you can

get a legal version of Windows 7 for the cheapest price

.

Marc Saltzman brings online shoppers a cautionary sales tale this week. He looks at the Sony Reader Touch Edition and explains why you might want to give it a miss, looks at one retailer price gouging on the Apple iPad, cashing in on a perceived shortage and warns against refurbished products, no matter what word retailers are using to indicate that the product has been returned, serviced and put back out for sale.

Marc Saltzman finds an iLuv alarm clock dock for 57% off the regular price of $150 with free shipping as NewEgg.com's "Shell Shocker" deal. It's good for a very limited time only so if you're interested, act fast. The same unit is available for about $80 at J&R, which is a good deal if you miss out on the Shell Shocker. Also in the mix, a massive 64GB of storage on a tiny USB key from SanDisk.

looks a little deeper into some online "deals" and discovers that the devil truly is in the details. Looking past the initial price, he finds that in many cases, you can

find the best deals online

when you do a little digging and some elementary mathematics. In the case of the

Linksys E1000 Wireless N Router

and the

HP 4GB SDHC card

he looks at, the best listed price isn't always the best deal once you factor in shipping costs...

This week in the

best tech deals online

,

Marc Saltzman

brings a fantastic deal on an 1TB external hard drive from Iomega, the Iomega Prestige Desktop 1TB for less than $100 plus shipping from TigerDirect. He also highlights a bargain on an

HD web cam from Microsoft

, the Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000 at just over $40.

This week, Marc Saltzman finds a fantastic deal on a 1080p full HDTV from Sharp. At $700 with free shipping from Dell, the Sharp 47" L47SB57UT is a real steal. Meanwhile, Marc advises you steer clear of TigerDirect's $100 off deal on a Canon DVD camcorder at $250, recommending you step up to Sony's SX44 instead.
