Recently, [H] Consumer went on a shopping spree. After a year of evaluating systems from companies that a consumer could purchase from online, we wanted to see what it would be like to purchase a system from a brick and mortar retailer. So we got in our cars and bought systems from Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, and Fry’s Electronics. We then wrote about our experiences in our Retail Computer Purchasing Experiences guide. We then followed up with evaluations of the systems we bought: an eMachines T3418 and T6528, a Compaq SR1800NX, and an HP a1330n.
