I politely told the customer service agent what was going on and she asked me to wait while she took the computer to the back. I drove up to Best Buy yesterday morning and was ready when they opened the doors at 10:00. It was only Day#1 and I was already having problems. In addition to the space bar getting stuck, the mouse was acting erratic as well. However, it didn’t take too long for me to figure out that it wasn’t going to work. I screwed around with it a little, thinking that it might just be hard to work since it was new. The SPACE key didn’t work well and I had to hit it really hard in order to make it work. We got the laptop home and started installing the software only to realize that the keyboard was acting crazy. I just needed a laptop so that I could move on with my life and continue making a living. But, since I was able to write this off as a business expense, I wasn’t too upset.
Unfortunately, I also had to buy Microsoft Office which added another $120. After some looking and comparing, I chose a Asus Laptop that was about $379.
After struggling internally to decide which store was the least evil, I chose to go to Best Buy because they *might* have someone available to help me. The closest store that sells electronics is Best Buy, and the other alternative is Walmart. As a freelance writer and blogger, a laptop is definitely a need, and not a want.
I do a lot of work on the run and often take my laptop with me when we travel. Although I do have a second computer, it’s a desktop. And unfortunately, I had to go out and get another laptop despite the fact that we’re on FALL FINANCIAL LOCKDOWN. My laptop died. I had been having problems with it for months so I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised. For more about our advertising policies, read our full disclosure statement here.
