Where should you buy a laptop? - GoFuckYourself.com

clickhappy · 07-27-2009, 06:02 PM

Online or in the store? Like Egghead or Bestbuy? I always think if I shop online I'll get a good deal, but if Im in the store can see if I like it or not.

Why is that?

I look on bestbuy.com order, and pick up at the store most of the time, I have done that with the last 50 laptops I have owned..

You have owned 50 laptops? Holy shit! I like Tigerdirect.

Sosa · 07-27-2009, 06:10 PM

eh, i don't like most laptops at bestbuy etc. I prefer getting one without a operating system so there is no extra junk included.

I used to buy real cheap pieces of shit that I could write off and donate/sell on craigslist after a year. This last one I actually bought straight through my Dell Gold rep, and it's pretty awesome. It's got 1920x1200 resolution and doesn't afraid of anything.

I hate futureshop for a number of reasons, but the prices were good and they had the machine I wanted, so I bought a machine (Macbook) there last.

I would say buy your machine at a store where you can test it and try it first.

craigslist.com

I know some people might not agree with this, but I'd consider Ebay for buying a laptop, just be extremely careful.

A couple of years I bought a nice new Dell M1710 fully loaded, it even came with a case and extra power adapter, when I priced it up on Dell's site with tax and shipping, it would've been $4,500, I paid $3,200 and it was brand new and sealed still WITH a 3 year warranty.

HOWEVER, if you do, you'd better really check the seller, the guy I bought from had close to 1,000 feedback. If you see someone with great deals on laptops with like 10 feedback, avoid at all costs, ha ha.

tranza · 07-28-2009, 07:58 AM

Well, I usually buy it online

Wizzo · 07-28-2009, 08:01 AM

Tigerdirect has some killer deals, especially any holiday weekend. My last laptop I bought over the LaborDay weekend for $600 and couldn't find it for less than $1500 anywhere else.
