Thinking about the Westinghouse TV, pretty good deal.

Anyone else planning on going out or has seen other ads?

The 4GB Xbox 360 for $199 ($199 elsewhere) that is bundled with a $50 gift card

SIQQQQ

The westinghouse TV is a good deal because their pieces of shit.

my westinghouse isn’t bad. I’ve had it for almost 3 years now.

good for a bedroom or home office

Check out BFads.net, the ads started coming out early last week.

westinghouse tvs are definitely not “shit”. for the price they are very decent.

Oh not westinghouse…I got that confused with that real low end model Target and Kmart sell. WTF is the name of it.

Anyone else already getting 20%-30% off emails from your favorite stores?

I grabbed the 32" westinghouse last year for $249…tv has been fantastic since. worth it IMO.

Nope, and I’m on a few mailing lists.

Newegg has a different deal every day on specific gadgets for all you nerds.

Yeah for the money you can’t beat the price.

Do most places start at midnight or like 3 or 4am?

they are consistently the worst TV’s I see working in the field day to day. There is a reason they are cheap

I’m planning on snagging a new laptop for under $500. Just started browsing for deals now, hopefully gonna get an HP. Also looking to get a desktop computer for my mom if anyone has any leaks.

I’d stick with HP for a laptop…If you can build the desktop. If not stay away from wallmart/BJs/etc. Usually with coupons and deals you are better off customizing and buying right from the manufacture’s site. Again I’d recommend HP.

^^from what ive been seeing toshibas are getting pretty good too for the money. we have hp xw8600 desktops here at work, theyre alright i guess.

im hoping to get some good deals on new brakes for the car.

Funny that you mention that because Toshiba is the other brand I’m seriously considering. My dad has an HP that I’ve always liked. A few months ago my sister got a Toshiba and I just don’t find the keyboard and mouse as comfortable to use. Maybe I’m just picky, but I am hearing good stuff about Toshiba lately as well. As a whole, it just feels a bit too cheap. Probably trying to save weight but the plastics just seem very cheap which is somewhat of a concern. HP’s feel a bit heavier but it just feels like there’s more quality put into the build. As it gets closer I’ll have to see who’s got the better deals.

HPs support and driver page is a lot better than toshiba’s btw. Toshiba is pretty good too.

I had nothing but horrible experiences with HP. Their warranty is completely useless, any kind of hardware issue and they’ll make up something that voids your warranty. I had a USB port physicially break off a laptop and they told me it was not covered due to moisture in the heatsink. WTF? The other one I had actually started shooting blue sparks out the power port and they wouldn’t cover that either. Went with Dell with the @Home service, any problems and they have a tech at my house the next day fixing it.

We use all HP at my work, and have never had a problem with the support service/warranties. I usually only have to call every couple months due to old/bad ram and they overnight the ram to me. Had a bad motherboard in a laptop and they sent a guy out the next day who repaired it. I don’t even call them I just go through their support site and explain my problem and they ship me the parts. Maybe the business support is separate from home support? I deal with about 500+ HP printers, desktops, and laptops

I would assume the enterprise support is different. Their home support was terrible. Long hold times and you had to mail in the laptop at your own expense. Dell I online chat with India, tell them I’m proficient and skip the troubleshooting BS, and get the parts I need overnighted and a tech at my house the next day. I just got all new plastics from them for my laptop because my warranty is running out and I want it to look new.
