Is it me, or are there two identical posts there, one would almost be suspicious that walmart has a couple of stooges here to talk up the 15% restock of best buy. Hmmm I tend to agree with Therisa, common sense, you pay for quality from a brand thats supported, like Dell, HP. So when Walmart brandX dies on you, and it will because Walmart make money by pounding the manufacturer into their price range, to make their profit slimmer, to be satan on earth to bow down to the altar of sheer greed and profit margins. Giving you a manufacturer with no recourse but to use the cheapest, nastiest parts, to cut down on anything after sales, like product support, warranties etc, your going to get a very iffy system, and just 15 to 30 days to return it and hope to get your money back. But hey don’t worry they won’t charge you 15% restocking fee! They just send it back to the manufacturer they badgered in the first place and tell them to eat the cost. Brilliant! I swear Hitler could learn from Walmart, he’d have managed to take over the world one dime at a time while profiting off the backs of entire nations.

I’m not a big fan of Wal Mart by any means, but at least they won’t charge you a 15% restocking fee if you want to return a computer, or exchange it for a different one – unlike Best Buy.

Push a manufacturer to build it cheaper, put cheaper crap in it, so the big store will pay them what they want to. Thats how the manufacturing companies are pressured if they want to sell in their store. So, fight over the piece of junk if u will. Buy quality and be assured!

A 60+ female co-worker of mine recently purchased a laptop but returned it in exchange for a netbook. She didn’t care about the memory or speed but rather that a netbook is physically smaller–she can hold and carry it more easily.
