Hey Y'all,
Looking eventually to get a new laptop with a DVD burner. Saw a great deal on A Tosh. through CompUSA

but then I read the reseller ratings store reviews and was VERY surprised!

I have seen stores that were obvious B-stock sellers with invalid warranties getting better reviews. Some of these reviews indicated that CompUSA tries to waggle out of their extended warranty coverage and there are many people wanting to sue them for fraud. Are they that bad? The store in NYC always seemed decent to me. BUT I never bought a computer there. I'm quite surprised as this is such a huge chain.
Any thoughts guys? We had a Dell once with major issues (Inspiron laptop had bad design and overheats, dell only sent out band-aid solutions that we had to deal with again and again and never owned up to the design issue which we and many thousands of owners had...) and don't want to go that route again.
Thanks! d
And are extended warranties on computers just a load of hooey...
(Even though thank GOD we had one on the Dell...)
