Went back to Best Buy today (and can I just point out how bizarre it is going to Best Buy, after having watched
Chuck? lol) and I purchased a computer! I went with the
Samsung R480 I mentioned in my last post. I'm reasonably certain that I'll not get any papers written today, lol. I do need to get my wireless set up and install all my crap
and watch movies on my new Blu-Ray player.
If you're thinking of buying a new computer, here's something to consider. Best Buy offers a 2-year extended warranty that includes one battery replacement. Generally, I don't bother with extended warranties, but considering that the price of replacing the battery is the same as the cost of the warranty, I figured it's worth it. If I'm going to get the battery eventually anyway, I might as well get an extra year of service included. And it doesn't matter what the condition of the battery is, so you don't have to hope it dies before the two years is up in order to get your money's worth. At any point, up to two years, you just ask for a replacement and you get one. Woo!
