Computer Shops

[phmc123]

Anybody know of any good computer shops in the 192 area?

[Malcolm]

I would not use any on 192 or International drive as these are aimed at the tourist and they will take you for a ride, was looking for a camera lense for my Canon and one shop started at $800 for a lense i got at ritz cameras in Florida Mall for $350.
Speak to a local person when you go out there and ask where they would go, i got my lap top from Best Buy also Walmart have some good priced PC stuff

There's a Circuit City just north of the Florida Mall on 17-92 South Orange Blossom Trail. It's on the right just after the junction with Sand Lake Road.

yeh i was in 192laptops.com (its a store, they dont even have a website!!!) they have changed names over the years, they wanted $400 for a very old bulky slow latop with windows 98. whereas you could get a modern fast windows vista for $300+ in walmart!

P.s If you buy anything from Walmart and its doesnt work at home, if you keep the receipt you can return it at any ASDA store in the uk.

I looked for Gameboys last time on the 192 and I-Drive and was shocked to find them as expensive as the UK. A trip to Electroniques Boutique in Mall @ Millenia saved the day as I got a Gameboy and loads of games for my daughter for virtually half the UK cost. I agree with malcolmmearns that 192 / i-Drive stores are out to make the most from tourists!

$300 or £160 for a fast vista laptop is a great bargain. Will have to buy one of these

I used this Comp USA shop last time to buy a laptop, check out the website
http://www.compusa.com/
It's actually across the Sand Lake road from Florida Mall. :wave:

Just a tad over £500 (http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=343410&pfp=search&tabtype=ts#moreinfo) ... just have to hope that Mr Customs & Excise doesn't stop me!

CompUSA and circuit city are virtually opposite each other just north of Florida Mall on Orange Blossom Trail. The other place worth trying is BestBuy not certain of the Orlando locations though. I always tend to buy my computer bits when we go over there and mainly in CompUSA as you can check the prices on their web-site.

Laptops are fine. long as it has a split load powersupply. But they all seem to come with that now anyway so. dont worry just go shopping. Comp usa is where we go.

[lindylou2_2002]

Also fairly sure that anything bought at Walmart if faulty can be returned to Asdas. (dont quote me on that) but think I read it somewhere.

Also remember that if you buy in the USA you'll probably get one with an American keyboard layout, which takes a bit of getting used to.

I have returned a laptop once a few years ago to Circuit City.
Had no problem at all and they exchanged it for a brand new one.

Yip Walmart purchases are exchanable/fefundable in Asda but i took a mini dvd player and the refund offered was on an exchange rate of $1.65 to the £ :-))) so just swapped for a similar model.
