Laptop Order: Pros and Cons

Hello guys! Medyo confused ako ngayon kung ano ba talagang paraan ang gusto ko? This coming Saturday kasi bibilhan na ako ng Laptop ng Tita ko. But the question is, alin ba mas maganda: Mag-order ba via sa website or pumunta sa local stores?

Ordering Online (Dell)

PROS

The selected laptop is fully customizable! Even its color.
Inexpensive.
Warranty period can be extended to 3 years but requires an additional payment.
More promos and freebies available.
Limited discounts on selected laptops.

CONS

It will take 2-4 days of shipping.
Availability of Dell Center especially for warranty purposes.
My mother is not convinced with Online Shopping. She still taught its not appropriate or it's a scam. ( which is.. you know)

Local Stores

PROS

I can get the laptop the day I bought it.


CONS

The selected laptop is not customizable.
Fixed price, no discount.
Warranty is only 1 year.
Expensive (considering the shop's commission etc)
Limited promos and freebies available.


Ayan! Makikita na agad kung sino panalo. Yung bolded part sa PROS is yung talaga ang gusto ko. Sa CONS naman, yun ang medyo ayaw ko ><

Malalaman ko na this coming Saturday Feb. 13, 2010. *cross finger*
