Looking to purchase a new laptop. Where are some good places for price/quality. Don’t need anything crazy…do a little gaming on it not much. Just need it for basic work stuff. I’ve always gone to Best Buy but just seeing what else is out there

I'd still say Best Buy. It lets you touch the keyboard and look at the screen, which are hugely important to your experience. Unless the exact same model is on sale at Sam's/Crapco, I'd avoid the club stores because of the lack of variety.

Lenovo has five? different lines of laptops, so do HP and Dell. It's more down to picking the proper model and build for how you're going to use it. Build meaning if you're just going to stick it on a desk, you don't care how much it weighs, etc.

Sometimes office depot will have good deals. I would compare with best buy.

Honestly, BB is probably the best. Open up a store CC and get free financing for like 24 months.

I just got a new one from Formosa Computers on Airline Highway. Mike will work with to get what you need, move everything over from your old PC and fix any compatibility issue that come up. Been dealing with him for years.

I drove down Airline a few days ago and was surprised to see that Formosa was still open.

I bought my first (of several) computers from there around '92ish when I was at LSU.

Good folks.

That’s what I figured with Best Buy. Always gone there by default just wanted to see what else may be out there. I will check out Formosa first though. Never heard of it some looking forward to seeing what they have
