Computer Retail around Minneapolis, MN?

Question

Hi Everyone.

I am trying to figure out other places to go computer shopping. I know best buy has some computers.. but now with CompUSA closed.. thats all I know.

Any suggestions? I know I can shop online also.

Answer 1

First, use the internet to find out what the best computers are--bang for the buck. Consumer Reports (1st link) might help. Unfortunately, it is a pay service.

If you are in the Twin Cities, around the first of the month there's a FREE newspaper (usually found in librarys) devoted to the computer with information and ads in the back. (You could find a great computer being sold because the person upgrades ever few years...)

Read reviews of computers from users (2nd link)

Go to a independent seller--3rd link. It is listed in the list of where to buy computers as: "Box Shop --Dirt Cheap Computers". Tried to find a web site for them, but didn't. One store in Bloomington and the other in St Paul.

Micro Center in St Louis Park has more techs/geeks helping you (answering questions) and a HUGE store with TONS of computers and --last link.

Happy hunting!
