      From what I was told about w/ Best Buy is each stores goes off of a demographic area.. For ex: 1 store may be known for it's Video Dept like TVs etc. and what not..
      Another 1 may be better known for it's Computer dept. depending on demographics, and the store is kind of setup for those areas..

          If you like paying a few thousand more than what you would if you built it youself... sure 😉

            Agreed; I've built many computers before, and I would do it again anytime, its just its often hard to compete with the prices Dell can give after rebates / coupons when you piece it together...

            But yeah, Alienware is a huge rip off...

              How much cheaper would it cost to build a gaming PC compared to buying one?

                like half price tin...you can build a decent gaming machine for about $5-600

                          So I went in to best buy today to purchase a laptop, and had a bad experience.

                          1. I waited for 30+ min for a salesman
                          2. The guy tried to tell me that the computer would cease to function without upgrading the ram.
                          3. My computer would "die" if I didnt purchase antivirus and antispyware from them
                          4. If I installed my own ram, it would void the factory warranty, but it would be covered by best buys plan

                          After I told him no to all of the bull shit, he went and on the computer he looked it up and it said "2 in stock" and he comes back and tells me that they dont have any more.

                          I fucking hate it when people try to tell me about simple shit on computers, and then this douche bag was mad enough that I didnt purchase all this shit to tell me they dont have any in stock when i specifically saw on his computer "2 available in store".

                          I could tell he was lying becuase he like scurried off in a hurry, if he had been actually trying to sell me anything he would have shown me other products or told me when it'd arrive.

                          This fat fuck's name is joel, and I hope somebody on here works there so you can tell him he's a piece of shit.

                          Oh, and screw it, I just ordered one from Dell fuck that place.

                          I dealt with that little shit when I helped my roomate buy a computer. He has to be the stupidest fucker there. He pulled all the same shit on us when we went there that he pulled on you. Fuck Best Buy.

                          I have to get them to fix my laptop. I made the mistake of buying a laptop from them. Never again will I buy a computer, or anything of value from Best Buy

                              as far as dell I hope you don't have anyproblems their service is good but their computers SUCK.... i've worked at 3 diff. business's that run dells and all 3 have had coputer troubles with the dells

                              oh the other hand i've had 2 HP's only problem i've had was with the laptop and that was my fault spilt liq. down the keyboard and fryed the keyboard cost me like $100 bucks to get a new one installed.....

                                    Through the years our family has had alot of Dell's and they really haven't had any major problems, I cant say the same with HP computers, we've had maybe three or four of them, all of them had a "major" problem that I required a main component having to be replaced.

                                    Brian and I have the same laptop, and I don't think theres a negative thing either of us can say about it; the 24" lcd that I got got some of the highest ratings on cnet, etc...

                                      Lol, no. I worked in Comp Sales and I also helped fix the comps in the geek squad. There were a couple of cool guys there, but for the most part they didn't know a whole lot. 😄
