[Electronics-Talk] laptop computers

[Jordan Gallacher]

Best Buy is absolutely the best place to get computers from, and I have had nothing but great experiences with them.  My primary computer was purchased from them, and if I were to try to spec the same computer out directly from Lenovo, it would be well over $2000.  With taxes, it was about $1800.  So far, I have purchased two computers, this one, and one back in 2011, and I will never go directly to the manufacturer for a computer again.  Here is a hint, if you are able to, sign up for PayPal and sign up for PayPal credit.  Six months to pay and no interest as long as things are paid in full by six months.

When I was looking for a laptop, I found the same model with more functionality at a lower price on Amazon and Best Buy would not match.

Did they think we not know that it does not reach minimum cooling temps for safe food refrigeration, or realize that there are damaged and missing bins, or notice bits of food and ice residue inside?  They obviously thought having a disability means being an easy mark.  Excuses galore when called out and then months for the refund credit after they took it back.  And if you make a return, do not provide your id as they just want to store your info to track you and deny refunds going forward.
