    Well... I don't think there is any if you want to purchase it on-line.

    You might ask your family member to purchase it for you and give the person your money.

    You can use your debit card (if you have one that is). I've used my debit card when buying a Dell laptop before and it got through. Just make sure you have enough money on your checking acc. when buying a laptop. But i wouldn't know if HP would accept debit cards. I think as long as it has "Visa" on it should be fine.

    Credit Card and Debit Cards operate similarity as long as it is with MasterCard/Visa. Credit Card uses a line of credit and debt card is linked to your checking account with the bank.

    You don't need a credit card for Paypal. You just need enough funds in your Paypal account.

    credit card, usualy means debit or credit, but you will get better protection with a credit card, also some credit cards will give you an extra years breakdown cover.

    I remember when I was in your situation...My suggestion...Get a Debit Card.

    Go to ur nearest bank and open a Checkings account and let them know u would like a Debit Card to purchase stuff online. There is NO interest to pay as with Credit Cards and is less complicated to set up.

    Basically it is very straight forward...when u purchase stuff online the funds would be withdrawn from ur checkings account. I highly recommend using Online Banking as well...to monitor ur account balance etc. So u always know how much money u have on ur account, to cut down on service charges and overdrafts.

    I use my Debit MasterCard and never had any issues...Go for it!

    I could never see myself going into a store and buying a laptop...I would just look at them...but never buy um...I like to customize to my specifications...even if it seems perfect for me I would still get it direct from the manufacturer. :rolleyes:

    :nah:

    It's like ur going to buy a car or something...u go to the car dealer and they offer u a car that's pretty nice. It's not to shabby, and it cost $30,000. But u want more power under the hood, or better features and add-ons...so you customize it to ur liking...(which u can't do in-store) it will cost more yes...but at the end of the day..u got exactly what u wanted, so the cost doesn't matter. At least that's how the story goes for me.

    There's just something about customizing my own notebook that just turns me on! :p

    Well, since it's concidered a "store" card, the interest is pretty high. I wouldn't recommend carrying a balance for too long. You could end up paying $30+ per month just in interest on a $1000 purchase.
