Buying a Computer at Retail Stores

I posted the other day about some considerations in buying a computer. Slashdot has an article today about experiences in buying computers in retail stores, and answers they received to some very basic questions. The article also brings up something I forgot to mention in my article, warranties. If you break something it is always nice when you can get it fixed for free.

The best thing to do when buying anything is to do some research beforehand.  As far as computers go, both Tom's Hardware and AnandTech usually have good hardware reviews.
(of course, you could just do a quick Google)

Anyway, You can find my original post here and the Slashdot post here. Be sure to look through some of the comments on the Slashdot post as well.


Happy Shopping ;-)
