My girlfriend is looking to buy a laptop but prices here are so steep. We are going to FL for a few days this month and I had originally suggested buying from Newegg because of the savings. But after thinking about it, I realized the issue with the warranty. I mean, what if we get back to Panama and a piece of hardware dies or it malfunctions somehow? It would be a stupid amount of money to ship that thing and it could take MANY weeks to get to the manufacturer let alone get it back to Panama.
If she bought locally, the prices would be pretty high and there is not a great selection, but it might be a wiser decision because if something happens then we can just take it back to them.
Not sure which choice to go with, what do you guys think?
