nobody can get deals on laptops, even employee’s there just isnt any up front markup on them, your best bet is the internet or compusa store closing sale ---

I like the dell outlet. Refurbished computers with warrenty. I had a bad graphics card and they replaced not only that but my screen and motherboard “just in case” something else was the problem. Also had a stick of RAM go bad, chatted with the online tech support at like 7pm and they said they’d said me another one. 6am that morning it was sitting at my door. ---

Circuit city and best buy are the two biggest ripoffs in town. I have no idea why people buy ANYTHING there. Everything there is super overpriced. I like dell. Watch fora dell deals on [slickdeals.net](http://slickdeals.net). I just picked up a dual core AMD notebook for my brother with all the bells and whistles for only 599 shipped. Walk into bestbuy, and buy another name brand lappy with that configuration, expect to shell out 900-1000 bucks. ---

I have a website that watches for specific dell coupon deals, I’ll post it later right now I have alot of data transfer on the laptop I’d like to not interrupt. ---
