So, our laptop crashed last night, and it may or may not be fixable. We are DJing a wedding tomorrow and have to have a computer.

If I wanted to walk into a store today and walk out with a fully functioning laptop, where should I go? Best Buy? Staples? I have always bought computers online before so I have no clue.....

Thanks!!

Apple Store for the new iPad.
I just did for the wifey last week.
Functions not only as a laptop, but with the new Optimum app you can watch tv on it from anywhere within my home wifi range.

I bought a $250 Toshiba from Best Buy about 10 months ago...and its still kicking ass! NO headaches at all.

Yeah, Breast Buy isn't a bad place to get a decent machine when in a rush

Costco has a great return policy and offers an extra year on the manufacturers warranty.

You are in/near Boston right? I would go to Micro Center.

craigslist, a pawn shop, maybe a computer repair company, word of mouth....let us know how you make out..best buy is good but you will have to charge the battery overnight

You've probably got this resolved by now...but I've got a Dell D505 Laptop you can use as long as you like.

It works fine. 120 GB Hard drive. 2 Gigabytes memory. Windows XP.

It's here in Medford. I'll be home today and tomorrow.
