Have a feeling

[ray1970]

My computer is about to crap out.

For the past several days I have been having trouble getting it to turn on. I push the power button but nothing happens. Sometime I can push it five or six times and it will finally power on. Sometimes I have to push it thirty or forty times.

I don't think she's going to last much longer.

Fortunately, when I finally got it fired up this morning the first thing I did was get all of my important files transferred onto my portable hard drive.

Anyone know where I can get a smoking deal on a new laptop without playing in the crowds on Friday?

Actually, that's a little different. I push the button and nothing happens. You just aren't pushing her buttons the right way.

Yep. That's why I said this...

Micro Center usually has some pretty good deals. Especially if you aren't looking for the latest and greatest but are happy with the will do what I need it to do for another 3+ years. Upshot, most of their staff has a clue, not all but more than most the box stores.

Where is Micro Center at? Thanks.

Micro Center is where I normally start when I don't want to wait.

Another place to look is Action - http://actionpc.com/loc.html I seem to remember one of the owners was/is a member on this board. You won't find state of the art, latest gamer fanboy computers, but for what most of us do with computers, anything with a couple GB of RAM will do just fine.

If you are looking for a laptop, Dell and Gateway sometimes have deal through their website. Costco also has decent prices on laptops. I just can't stand all of the junk that comes pre-installed on new computers.

I will probably be tossing a desktop in the very near future. I normally wipe the drives and donate them, but if you are interested, it is nothing to write home about. I'm currently using it to serve netflix to a TV upstairs, so it doesn't get a lot of use anyway.
