My sister is going into uni in sept and needs a good laptop...where have you gone or heard of that sells them for a decent price .

BB alreayd has some decent models they are clearing out ... my boy that works at one got a sick deal on a centrino the other day for like 200 .. thats with his discount but u get the idea ...

plus there will be stupid back to school specials on laptops in about 2 weeks

Cynikal.Mindset

tigerdirect.ca has some good deals on factory refurbished units

i say go with FS or BB, i threw in the few extra bucks for the PSP or whatever it's called @ FS, and got all my **** fixed for free when something went wrong...

or, go with a dell and get the service plan too, even better, slightly more expensive but you can break that shyat, spill stuff on it, and they'll still replace it apparently...

yea thats why somethings i jsut dont mind spending the lil extra and gettin that grea warrenty .. most of my pc parts that i run thru fast ie. burners are from BB .. i get a new one pretty much every year for 4 years .... i started with a 4x and now i have a DVD-R .. thanks BB !

Wait for all the back to school specials coming out very soon. I think most of them start in the middle of August. Maybe sooner.

Dell has a good service plan, but they have to because thier stuff is garbage...



Not the real reason, but it illustrates my point...

I'd check out the deals at FS and BB, specially if you want a service plan...

the only downside with the extended service plan or the warranty is that they keep your product for a max. of 60 days before it is repaired and given back to ya

imagine that long with your laptop...

in comparison..compusmart has a plan that replaces the product right away instead of keep it for long provided the repair exceeds a certain amount.

anyway u look at it...lappies are cheap these days.

cibs

that 60 days max is only if you're a ***** pushover customer... trust me if you can handle yourself it's not 60 days...

plus don't they give you a loaner if you need one?

szuberi

well..it says 60 days on the warranty document. it was earlier 30 days but then people started buying a replacement only to return it on the 28-29th day before getting their own back....

or you can do this twice..haha...but laptops only have a 14 day return or refund policy....dont know about loaners...dont think thats the case with FS or BB but im guessing.

what uni is she going 2??

they usually give deals on lap-tops to students

imported_tamalsaccord

i've tried Dell, HP, ACER and IBM

and my IBM one was the best ever. I abused the **** out of it and it took it all. It had less speed and ram than the others but was much faster.
