Since my laptop died after only 4 years of service, I knew it was time to buy a new laptop. So, I check the Best Buy website to see what I could get for what cost. In the past, I have always purchased Dells. But since the premature death of my Dell laptop, I no longer have any loyalty to the brand. So, it was the most bang for the buck. And, in the end, Best Buy had a HP that was $100 cheaper than the Dell offerings. So, 10 minutes later after work, I was out the door with PC in hand. YES!!!
