Quick price check
Feb 28, 2010 1:36AM PST

For a quick check on pricing, look at the websites of WalMart and Costco, they provide desktop and laptops as well. They offer them with or w/o the monitor thus saving even more cash if you have a decent monitor. The recent builds pretty much offer what anyone else offers. its worth it just to compare prices, of course, you can google for other vendors.

to consider when buying a computer from any of the major retailers; is what kind of warranty do they (the retailer) provide-if any-or do you have to rely on the factory warranty.
