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

It's actually across the Sand Lake road from Florida Mall.

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.
