Great Buy But...

by mpmoore9 , Mar 17 '00
Pros: Price and Features
Cons: Hangs Too Often
I got a great buy on this computer. It was the last one in the store and it was on display so I only paid $1,040.00. Meanwhile it was marked $1,500.00. So needless to say I was excited to get all of that computer for that price.

I love all...

Pros: works like a charm
Cons: no double click button on the mouse, can't figure out how to adjust my screen

I am currently a...

Best Buy

Pros: Great package
Cons: No 800 number to call for help
