Bestest Buy
My old HP laptop died about three months ago. Fortunately, it decided to crap out exactly 3 days before the extended warranty ran out! Even better, is that I took that old laptop into repairs more than 3 times, so it was concidered a lemon under the warranty policy. When I took the laptop in, the “Geek Squad” *shudder* guys where amused at the excellent timing of the demise. Then the Geek Squad guy told me I could pick out ANY laptop in the store. I was tempted to get a Mac, but I didn’t feel like converting stuff to another format. So, I settled on a Vaio.
When I went to pay, I thought I was just getting the initial $1700 sticker price credited as I used up my warranty. But the part-time uncomissioned cashier refunded the extended warranty ($300) plus the recycling fee, and obviously something more by accident; because I got a $3000 gift card. o__O To top that off, I used my reward card, and will be getting $60 worth of Best Buy certificates. heh heh heh.The new Vaio is nice because I can actually travel with it. It’s 15.4″ wide, and a inch thick closed. I do hate Vista, but have configured it so it preforms like XP now. It’s really powerful, and has a Blu-Ray burner though! So I’m glad my other laptop died. The only regret I have is I lost my sticker collection that was on it. ;__;
