I would consider both used and new.

DD is 11. She is taking a few online middle school courses. She is tying up my desktop for hours on end. I want to get her a laptop but only if it is a good deal. I can wait until Black Friday if I stand the chance of a better deal. She will need wireless internet access. She does a lot in MS Word and has to access a video here and there. I don't know what to look for but I really want to keep the price under $600. I don't know a thing about laptops. Any suggestions? Thanks! Lisa

Did anyone get this at Walmart? It was $147 with the accessories. Any reviews on this camera? It takes xD picture cards which seem pricey. Any idea where I can buy a 1GB or 516mb for cheap? Lisa

I need to get a CF card for the digicam I am buying DD. I was all set to get the FAR one from OM when I realized it was a CF Reader. Oops! Glad I recognized that now. Anyone know of any deals? Lisa

We need a new TV because ours is starting to flicker. It is probably about 8 years old. Here are our viewing habits/needs: My family does not watch a whole lot of TV. We all have our favorite shows but we will go weeks without turning the tv on. We do not own a Playstation, X-box, etc. and I don't foresee us getting one. We own one plug and play game that we hook up maybe once a month. We have a DVD player that is portable and isn't hooked up to our tv 3/4 of the time. We do have a DVR that I couldn't live without! We always have our favorites available to watch whenever we want. We do have digital cable, as well. So, what do we really need? I won't spend thousands on one because tv isn't that important to us. However, I don't want to spend $300 on something that will be obsolete in 2 years. Do we really need something that is HDTV ready? Do we need a flat screen? We would like something that is 32 to 36 inches max. Thanks for any help and advice. Lisa

Thanks to the responses and PM. Jonjoe, that was just the info I was looking for. I didn't know that the Digital Blue had other models. We have an older one. I am going to look into those and the one you bought. Thanks! Lisa

My 10 1/2 year old dd has had the Intel Play for a year now. She loves it and has a lot of fun taking movies and editing them with the included software. The quality is good enough but it only takes about a minute of video. She is asking for something that she can record longer with. I want to keep it at $100 or less. Any suggestions? Thanks! Lisa

I have to say we had the total opposite experience at our TRU. They had tons of the Bratz boom boxes in stock. Every item we wanted was in stock and there seemed to be plenty. There were a couple items we weren't certain we wanted to buy and so we passed. I felt very comfortable that they would have them in stock later in the week if we decide to get them. I guess it all depends on the store. Now, I will say their employees at our store are not at all helpful. I wanted to try one of their laptops they had on display but the "try now" button was broken. I asked an employee if there was anything we could do (open up another box, fix the display one, etc). He says "beats me" and walks away! So much for customer service. We decided to open a new box and hook it up ourselves :-) Lisa

Thanks. I looked online but I will make a quick run through the store tomorrow and see if I can get one. I really want to avoid going to KB Toys on BF. Lisa

Elena, Which one did you buy from Walmart? I don't see any of them for $40. Thanks. Lisa

Does anyone know anything about the Karaoke Machine they have advertised? Maybe a model number? KB Toys is the one store I try my best to avoid on BF. It is such a zoo. But if this is a good machine, it is worth it for the savings. Lisa

Hmmmmm........ I think I might be back to the drawing board. The $140 camera posted from Amazon is not the same one Sears is selling. The $50 one at Sears is regularly $60. It just isn't as exciting if I am only saving $10. Lisa

I'll send her shopping! Thanks :-) Lisa

No, just Sam's Club. We just moved to this area and I haven't even seen a Costco. Doesn't mean one isn't out there but I have yet to notice it. Why? Do they have something that may interest me? My sister is a Costco member up north and could go for me. Lisa

Thanks to both of you. It sounds like this will be a good starter camera for my budding photographer. Lisa
