All Prices are in Canadian Dollars
Anyway, here goes guys, my dell 9400 had a terrible screen and I hated the light leakage and what not. So I phoned up dell and one of the tech support said they would email the head office to see If I could get a refund based on the situation. Anyway, the story of how I got here doesn't mean much. I need a decision on which laptop to buy.
