"They assured me it was a good brand." says it all. Do you fall hook, line and sinker at car dealers as well?
What "expert" advice could you get from a "sales" associate? What are the credentials of a Geek Squad employee?
Try CNET for expert and user reviews. Buy online. The peace of mind is priceless. Buyer Beware at BBY. The only reason BBY survives is that there are still a considerable population of gullible Americans. Harsh but true.

As a family we have bought several computers from Best Buy. I was warned when I went to buy my new computer to NOT buy from Best Buy from the rest of my family, since they had found themselves in the position of having to take back their computers repeatedly for fixes. However, I did not listen. So I am finding myself regretting the decision to buy from this company. I purchased an ASUS from Best Buy in October. Within four days the computer crashed. They assured me this was a good brand, it was the brand the "expert" in the store recommended for my needs. They replaced the computer and within four months, the hard drive crashed again. This time they would not listen to my concerns that the brand was bad. The inept Geek Squad said they would and could back up my files and they would repair the hard drive but refused to consider another brand of computer. After three weeks they hounded me to come and pick up my computer (after not having time to pick it up within three days after the supposed repairs were finished). When I did pick it up, not only was it not ready, but they THEN informed me that they were not able to safe any of my files. They acted like they were doing me a favor by not charging me for the cost of the data back up. They then said their "I'm sorry" line and said they would have the computer ready the next day. They did not. When it was finally "ready"...can you guess...it was not working. Drives are missing, no office installed. So of course when I called the Geek Squad, they were unavailable to take my call. I have learned my lesson. I will never, ever walk into Best Buy again. I will make sure I tell EVERYONE I know to avoid the rip off artists known as Best Buy, the Walmart of computers. Shame on Best Buy for stealing money and shame on me for not listening to my family.
