RE: Reader Agrees To Believe Everything is Made Up And Never Really Happened

You sound like everyone else. I'm gonna just have to do it I guess, apparently everyone except me understands I need one.

They're all the same anymore right? Are they still real expensive?

Sort:  

I haven't bought a laptop in several years although the one I've got is probably gonna blow up sooner than later. I think you can get a cheapish Windows machine at Walmart for like $300–$400 these days. Just a guess though, haven't done much shopping around.

I have been using Macs for a long time but they are ridiculously expensive. My next laptop will just be a cheap trick that ships with Windows, then I'll wipe it clean and install Linux and go from there.

I've never had a Mac but our other devices are apple. Don't know much about computers but I know those Mac's are thousands of dollars.

I think I have enough voices in my head now all saying the same thing at the same time I can take action. Are used computers ever a good idea you think? I ask cuz these days Best Buy is empty.

Hmm I don't feel like I know quite enough about computers to give you an authoritative yes or no re: buying used. Personally I would buy new, but I think you can find refurbished laptops if you do some poking around online. The risk with buying used is I don't think they come with a warranty and it's hard to know for sure what condition the innards are really in.

Cool. We're in the same Internet café.

Always loved the coffee here.
