I worked for best buy as a loss prevention guy and a salesman for a hot minute

why does everyone on /g/ seem to hate best buy

howd the jews treat you

who gives a fuck, they're a big retailer

cuz everyrhting that me or my family has ever purchased from best buy has been shit and broken really quickly

well not so much my stuff cuz i take care of it

what the fuck are they buying

I find my shit and use it well tbh

but shit quality, high prices, limited normie selection

see I don't have any of those problems incidentally even without employee discount

my moms gotten two laptops and the first one had the internal fan break within the first year (i fixed it) and the keyboard died and then the whoile laptop died

maybe it's because I worked there, so I know what kind of stuff they carry to trust

also >laptops

her second one is starting to have the screen crap out

i hate laptops

but

in her defense

she sets them on a table and never moves them

>buying this much of a shit laptop

I've bought 3 laptops at Best Buy

so its not like it gets wear from being thrown around

One of them only had their battery die

I hate them too but I use one because it's like 10% of the cost in electricity compared to my gaming PC

it's a neccesary evil and the only things laptops do well

they are power efficient

ya but these arent shitty laptops theyre like averagoe ones like $400-$500 ones

The other one got a crack on the plastic but because my sis threw it once from the bed but otherwise it's working perfect

a 400 dollar laptop will crap out in a year based on the hardware IMO

only laptop i have is my xiaomi air

i have a couple desktops i use

And the third one looks kinda crap aesthetically wise due to easy scuffing but everything else still OK

300$ acer 400$ samsung 400$ toshiba

I got one for 450 that was normally like 600 and that laptop is already slowing down after a year

acer lasted like 6 years

samsung still kicking and does fine for office/browsing shit

toshiba same

i got a dvd drive from best buy a couple months ago it bragged about being silent but its loud as fuck and it cant burn cds for some reason

waste of $40

what are you buying

what brands

their selection is trash or at least the one next to me which is in a dying mall but as far as pc stuff goes they only have shitty razer products, sometimes a logitech or corsair mouse or keyboard, and the same steel series mice on clearence
