I've searched far and wide in Cancun for a decent laptop for a decent price but to no avail...then I looked on a few US sites and found the prices were cheaper for much better laptops so now I'm even more disheartened:aktion054: So I thought I put it out there, on the off chance that one you kind hearted, wonderful gringo people were going to the USA and could pop down compusa and bring me one back. I'd be willing to pay you for your time as well either with pesos or beer and you'd be able to sleep well in the knowledge you'd once again helped save the allies.
And that Mattkirk is known as the pressure of the VAT. Do you have a gray market in your area? That area will not have the VAT in many cases. Mexico City has a big one Tepito - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Do any Foridians (TJ) know of a good place to buy a laptop from if I fly into Ft. Lauderdale with Jet Blue? Works out cheaper for me to fly there on a sat, get a room comp from work, then fly back on Sunday with laptop than buying one here. Plus I get to eat at Waffle House (fond memories)...
matkirk, I don't live in Florida. There are Best Buy stores in Ft. Lauderdale. Generally they have a wide selection and are competitively priced. They do offer a price match if you were to go on line for other stores in that area. Hope this helps and that you receive more input from people that are from that area.
Thanks for the info. That's good to know about the price match thing - definitely worth checking out!
