Nice thing about Micro Center is that they actually have stores (locally in Fairfax and Rockville), and they're awesome. They're like IKEA but for geeks. Shit tons of DIY stuff.
like the only computer store left, I try to stay away as it causes leakage in my wallet
Now, I don't love Lenovo
i for one do at least like lenovo. ...i got a 3-year no-questions-asked extended warrantee for a good price.
had my 'puter back to me in 3 or 4 days
Actually, support is probably my biggest gripe with Lenovo. the Depot support where you have mail your laptop in for service is cringy and their phone support was always weak
I've been in the computer support biz for over 20 years, Dell by far has the best support (although now you have to get the 'pro' support package to get that)
If they can't fix it remotely, they send someone to your house to replace no questions asked
But that ends up costing about $100~ in your purchase price
if you buy from MicroCenter, ask them what support they offer.
This might be a better option
Laptops it's always good to get the Accidental support, but at $600 for a new one, not sure it's worth paying $150 for
