I am in the market to purchase a new laptop, does anyone recommend a store that has a great price, it would have to have a wireless internet modem, cd/rw/dvd, and at a decent amount of space for papers, this will be my school computer.....your help is much appreciated.

Please ignore this if you've already thought of it but I customized my laptop on dell.com. You can customize everything--so you can get the memory you need for papers, the wireless card, and the CD drive you need. I hope this helps! :spin

I know of a place (Office Depot) where a manager (me) works, they (I) might be able to help you out.

Dell. Just don't get financed through them.

What school do you go to? UTSA has that little Gateway program.

CompUSA has a decent Compaq for $550, of course there's a bunch of rebate crap involved. 256MB of RAM but I could sell you another SODIMM of Samsung RAM to double it for $20. One thing I don't like about Dells are their completely weak 90-day base warranty.
MannyIsGod
10-06-2005, 09:59 PM
Yeah the warranty on Dells is pretty fucking weak.

BTW, does anyone know where to take an LCD monitor to get fixed? Jess' monitor recently went on the fritz (fucking Dell!) and it is a nice monitor that saves room and I'm pretty sure if it is cost effective we would fix it.

It's a 15" I think. It's a Compaq Presario 1500. Not built in WiFi, but I'll throw in the WiFi card I have.

Damn. I wish probably the worst time for such a good deal to come by. If youhaven't moved it in a couple of weeks, I will probably take that bad boy off your hands, but I suspect with a price that good it won't be long before you do find a buyer.

I should point I bought it December 2002, so its almost 3 years old.

Tell you what Manny, since we go way back I'll pull it off the market until you are ready. Sorry other potential buyers.

Go with Dell and get that 10% discount and always try to lower the price or get the warranties added free.

The rep has extra info not shown in there website BUT YOU HAVE TO ASK!!!!
