They are almost exclusively alone. You also can try games, they have everything. Reliable, trustworthy, not comparable to a noname online reseller.

  • Micro Center

If you need it today and prefer to be hands on, they stand alone. Everything is cheaper online, that comparison is not valuable for Microcenter. Can neverheardofthem.com deliver same day? Warranty?

Thats what you pay for. The reps are generally smart too, unlike the DAs you might encounter at a big box store.

Yes, its expensive, but you get what you pay for. Cheap furniture is not well made, its not a difficult concept.

You dont have to buy the top of the line, just expect that it might not last as long. Service and delivery is exceptional.

Good luck!

You can get a ton of info. Use their valuation numbers against others. Get market numbers for your vehicles to get comparable sales prices. Get smart on everything, use the site to pit dealers against each other for your business.

No doubt, the best there is. The best costs money, expect to spend. Expect problems, they are inherent to Windows and being on the cutting edge. Dell has great support, vastly improved after the acquisition. Know what you are buying, there is a difference between a laptop and a mobile workstation. If you dont know the answer, you might be the person that is referenced in the saying... and his money are soon parted.

Its a gaming machine. If you are not a gamer and lugging around a 16lb mobile workstation, its not cool, you just became that guy.

Its the best for performance, enjoy it.

Placed an order 10/27, followed up numerous times for a delivery date(s). 4 distinct promises for delivery dates, numerous stories, sometimes the companys employees contradict each other. As an example, at Thanksgiving, the unit was on a truck being transferred to a local carrier. Late last week, they tried a bait and switch as The Sony unit is better than LG for OLED. The people are courteous, but obviously did not deliver and the stories were just shy of a unicorn sighting.

Tip for consumers:
I should add that the Sony unit is definitely not better. Despite Joe’s assertion, many reviews online about LG’s OLED. Do your own research independent of mine and someone who is trying to sell you what they have in stock. I would strongly advise against buying high end electronics from resellers who are not authorized by the manufacturer. If it is too good to be true or the price is less than every reputable seller, something is wrong. Is it new? Refurbished? Grey market? Ask it in writing
