A Trip To Best Buy

My computer died. I'm not sure if it's totally dead or not, but it was dead enough that we made a trip to Best Buy and I am now happily typing away on a new Chromebook. So sleek, so light. Ahhh.

I had been considering a Chromebook for a few months and before the Big Crash of '15, I did a bit of research on Chromebook vs. Laptop in the same size and price range.

But I still had a few questions so when we went to Best Buy and an employee offered to help, I said yes. He was very nice and not pushy and answered my questions without being annoying.

But then another guy came along and I felt like I'd been transported to this video.

He talked really fast (even faster than me) and jumped in to answer questions before I'd finished asking.  Sometimes he anticipated correctly. Sometimes not.

Frankly, he was exactly the stereotype of annoying geeky guy.

After the decision was made, we sought out the original not annoying guy and thanked him and he completed the transaction, so if they work on commission (I have a feeling they don't) he'll get credit.

I anticipate many happy hours with my new Chromebook.

  1. I hate it when I go computer shopping and the computer guy tells me what I "need" without knowing anything about me. They usually guess wrong. Glad you're happy with your new Chromebook. - Robin
