Venusaur Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Are there any good deals out there for a laptop? All I need it for is basic stuff, like surfing the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trbarginhunter Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 My laptop died this week--right as I am getting ready to oversee the Girl Scout Cookie Sale for 30+ troops in my area. DH did some research, BestBuy has a Compaq for around $630 that did what I needed, but he got an even better deal at Office Depot, instore special, not advertised for $450, includes a $180 mail in rebate. So, try both if you have them both in your area. It's a 15.4 inch screen with a gigabyte of memory, 120 gig harddrive. (Don't ask me what that means, I have no idea. DH says it's what I needed for Cookies, PTA Financial Records and some scrapbook stuff I do...and of course email and internet). hope this helps!

clintme Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 be warned about Office Depot rebates. I'm still waiting on $150 from a computer I bought a year ago. I made copies of everything I sent in, but they said they never got the UPC. I sent them the copy of the UPC and they said they only take original (no copies) of the UPC. The buttheads lost my original UPC, so they left me high and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbha Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Walmart has a couple of good ones for $598 (1 Toshiba and 1 HP); and also they have a Dell laptop for $798. A friend has the HP and loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say to call first because corporate really does care about how the company is perceived (after my troubles with OD, they gave me a nice giftcard to leave me with a "good taste in my mouth"). But contacting the BBB also works- my brother has done that in the past. Good luck! I hope you get what is rightfully yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
