subject: Shopping for Laptops and NetBooks [print this page] If you buy a laptop in a store, watch out for pushy salesmen. I almost clocked a kid at Best Buy for trying to alpha-dog me into buying a subscription for virus software. I had no interest in playing their game, with the endless, "Sir, I just like to know what virus software you plan to run." The fact that they don't know when to shut up and leave it alone tells me that they are trained to be jerks. Imagine telling a salesperson you just want to pay and leave and to have them continue trying to play sales games. I suspect it's the last time I'll be visiting Best Buy for anything - the formula seems to be, Best Buy, Worst Checkout.
