Buy a New Laptop for College at the right price!

Recently I went to Best Buy with a few of my friends who wanted to buy a laptop for college. When we arrived the salesperson began showing them many different types and suggesting his pick. I did a quick google search on the model number of the laptop and found it to be $250 cheaper online! And that was for a $750 laptop at Best Buy. It killed me to watch them buy it even after I made them aware of this. The point is, before you buy a laptop do a little research, Best Buy and Circuit City have nothing special to offer over others stores. If nothing else, go to Best Buy, talk to the salesperson, let them suggest one, then go home and research to find the best price. Another good thing to is to read reviews. Amazon is my preferred choice. The best places I would recommend to buy a laptop is Tigerdirect.com, Newegg.com, and Amazon.com. If you are looking to buy an Apple; which I highly reccomend, just purchase it off of Apple.com. If you are a student you get great discounts($200+), and you get a free iPod Touch. Even if you already own an iPod, you can sell the Touch on Ebay for around $250-300.
