    Hi all,

    I'm a senior in high school, and thus I'm in the market for a laptop for this fall. I was burning time at Office depot (bad place to look, I know) and I saw the Hp Pavilion DV6-3120US on display. from what I can see, the setup seems decent, and when it's on sale for 399.00, something must be wrong! Does anyone have experience with this or a similar model?

    Why is Office Depot (Office Max, Staples, etc) a 'bad place to look'?

    Brand names, in stock, often on sale for prices equal or better than what you might find on-line, in sealed boxes, in your hand the second you spend the $$, and returns/refunds just as fast as the sale.

    Besides having to leave the house and actually walk into a store, what's so bad about all that?

    Best Buy, that's another deal. Don't judge traditional brick and mortar stores by BB.
