My First Laptop

Finally ordered my laptop today…  And when I say “ordered,” I mean my boyfriend put the specs through to Dell and I just had to call them back to confirm.  I hate talking to salespeople.

Before putting the order through, I thought long and hard about whether I wanted to spend $250 more for the extended warranty (and additional 2 years) which included accidental damages and also data recovery if the laptop were stolen.  But my boyfriend didn’t think it was worth that much money.  My main purpose for the laptop will be for travel, but I might only go somewhere once a year that would warrant bringing it with me.  I also don’t plan on using it as an everyday computer, so it won’t have to go through much wear and tear.

So on the phone, the salesperson asked if I wanted the warranty and I said no.  And then he went on to explain the warranty, which led to probably a 5-minute long conversation about the warranty, and then 30 seconds of me wondering if I should get it or not.  Finally I said no again to it, which was followed by the longest pause ever before the salesperson said anything again.

But at least it’s done now!  Two weeks and I’ll have a Dell XPS M1330.  Woot.
