    OK this is a post to bash Best Buy
    Been saving money for quite awhile for a new laptop
    Sunday I finally got the money
    Best buy had Sony's on sale for only $810.00
    4 gig processor and 350 gig Hard drive
    They just got reduced when the new models came out
    Even had Blue Ray
    I get the last one, and was told had to wait to get it till morning because it was a display and to remove best buy software
    OK I get a call the computer is erroring out and I need to get a refund or pick a different one
    I decided on a refund
    I go in and find out they only issue a check, takes 10 days to receive and find out my bank will hold the check for 7 days
    So I am screwed no money and no computer
    I paid cash
    When I went in and found this out
    The reason they gave me is its on the back of the recites
    I said I received the reciet after I paid the cash
    And that they altered the term of the contract after I paid
    So I called corporate and complained, and guess what I get a $20 gift card for my trouble
    I just want a computer or the money
    No more Best Buy for me
    Maybe with Circuit City in trouble they will want my business LOL

    Good luck with circuit city i have had the worst experiance i have ever had with a retail store with them.

    But it does suck they did that at best buy normally they will upgrade to the next model for free, they allways have done that with me.

    I will choose Circuit City over Best Buy anyday!

    I have bought all my electronics there and am very happy with them.

    Get a Dell from Dell. Best Buy bites. Their biggest goal is to sell insurance.

    I"m not a fan of Best Buy but the closest CC is in Minneapolis. I bought out laptop on ebay. Brand new sealed in box for $1000. Retailed at $3000. No warranty but it's held up so far. Even being bounced around the truck. It's a Sony Vaio.

    Hello Joel-
    Gonna shoot you a PM


    The Dells that I've checked out seemed to have less features (memory, hard drive) than others for about the same money, but I know people that have them, and had no problems, or complaints.

    Finally got one tonight
    Just have to set it up and get it running with my DSL
    Paid $729.00
    30 bucks more than best buy but this one has Intel instead of AMD
    Toshiba notebook with a 17 inch screen
    It will be so nice to actually have a computer that doesn't lock up
    Picked it up at Office Depot
