Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me how dealings with Amazon.com are concerning buying a Toshiba Notebook from them?
They have the following Notebooks for sale and I do not know which is the better buy and bang for the buck, but I do know they are cheaper than in store this week at Compusa, Bestbuy, etc.
Which is better??
TIA,
Sincerely,
CP:-@
Can't find a phone number for Amazon, how do you get service on computer if you need it - mail back to Toshiba?
Is Amazon reliable to deal with and do they handle rebates okay?
I am leaning toward this first one!?
