Are you tired of spending huge amounts of money on electronics? Want to upgrade a computer or grab a GPS but don’t want to break the bank doing so? Check out Tiger Direct. I’ve never visited this site till this week. My computer crashed, (death by Trojan plus virus) and I had to scramble for a replacement.
Being a writer, this poses some problems. I need memory and tons of it. I like a large screen, since my over forty eyes need all the help they can get. (If they made a screen as big as a Drive Inn, I’d be thrilled). And I need an operating system of Vista, plus Office 2007 with Publisher and Accounting. Pricey to down in a week I thought. I am always uploading pictures, media, etc. Two sevices saved me this week.
Tiger Direct, an outlet of all virtual outlets, with their speedy delivery and their outstanding customer service produced a computer with everything I needed. Yes, it’s refurbished, but the “new” version, with less frills was nearly double at Staples this week. Best Buy came in a close second, but upgrading to my mega large screen, proved costly. My friend sent me to Tiger Direct, where I promptly became enthralled in the site. Not only did my new (used and refurbished) laptop arrive in two days, Tiger Directs customer service called me back to make sure it was to my liking! The shipping on my item, by the way, was a scant $1.99 as well. (Some items qualify for reduced shipping).
In addition, if you pay with PayPal, you’ll save an additional $20.00. I was quite thrilled with the product, the service and the timeliness of the shipping.
The other thing that saved me was having free Mozy Home Remote backup. If you’ve never tried an online backup sevice, you don’t know the ease of your computer world! Simply install on your system.
