Hey guys..

Unfortunately my stupid dell xps 1330m died last night and it is out of warranty.
Currently i am in us (canadian citizen) for a business trip and need a laptop ASAP. I was thinking of this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834117966
with 2 yr extended warranty for 89.99 (does that mean i will get 3 yr warranty? 1 mf warranty + 2 )
I was thinking of choosing either fedex overnight shipping or the ups next day shipping. ups one seems to be about 10 dollars cheaper
what is the difference?
I am right now in Pasadena (CA)
would it make any difference in time of getting them? does newegg, fedex, ups work on weekends?

Also, any suggestion on getting other laptops? i am trying to avoid acers dell etcs and only looking for sony or samsung with extended warranty

If you're in CA right now, I recommend you head to Microcenter in that area. They are having a pre-black friday sale (Unless I read the dates wrong LOL).

The Sony you linked to is a good laptop, I've never had a problem with Vaios before and the specifications look good.

If you can put down a little money, get the new gateway FX series laptop from bestbuy. It's pretty much the best deal in laptops.

how is gateway's reputation on laptop?
can you link me the product?

also does anyone know if the warranty purchased from newegg is warranty by sony? or newegg fixes it?
if so, if i purchase it here and my laptop breaks in canada, would i still be able to get the laptop fixed? (newegg is available in canada as well)

This question applies to the bestbuy (new gateway fx series) as well as microcenter one.. i saw it being about 100 dollars cheaper

Gateway FX series laptops are totally awesome. THere is a 200+ page thread in this forum about the series. Trust me you won't be disappointed with it.

Can't get the link working for some reason, but just look on the bestbuy website.

EDIT, you can get a 3 year warrenty, that even if you intentionally drop it, you'll get a new machine from BB. Also this thing can play crysis at all high settings.

I dunno. Newegg doesn't ship to Canada to begin with so NFI. I would suggest buying a refurb from a local store (Microcenter or other similar big-box) and buying an extended warranty straight from the manufacturer.

Also you're coming up on Thanksgiving weekend so people may be gearing up for the Black Friday rush.

Try a BB location, should be some in stock. Plus you'll get it today if you find one.

Best Buy! Forgot about them.

And pester them till you find out for ABSOLUTELY SURE if a Best Buy computer sold in the USA can be serviced at a Canadian Best Buy later. If necessary spend the coin on some long-distance calls to a Canadian Best Buy.
