picked up the printer for my daughter at Staples, after she picked me up at the train. then
since she was already in the car, drove to Micro Center, and had her test drive(type) several
laptops. Ended up with an Acer Aspire Core I5, 8GB ram and a 256GB SSD hard drive, $499.99. Thing boots
in no time flat. for more storage. will have to clean up a 1TB external hard drive I used to transfer files, from the old computer. It's SATA III, in a SATA III - USB 3 case, the thing flies. We opted for the I5 over the I7 for increased battery life. total time in store 35 minutes. got office 2016 for home & student, for $99, with purchase of Laptop.
I like Micro Center but have to go to Houston or Dallas to shop at one, can't believe there is not one in Austin.
mines on a highway not far from the house, it has a Paterson address, so it
is in an "Economic Development Zone", half the sales tax. so 3.5% instead of 7% tax.
Liquor stores still charge full sales tax.
