I think 2-3 weeks is standard for big TVs. I haven’t ordered one from amazon but when I bought my 50 inch a couple years ago it took almost 2 weeks and I didn’t get solid tracking until it showed up at my door. Reason being they hand the TV off to a 3rd party shipper that delivers locally. So speed and info depend on the company they use.
I received my tv in the mail yesterday and it was a cyber monday deal :/. Although for some reason it said on fedex that it was delivered and left outside of my door on Wednesday. I rushed home as soon as I saw that and it wasn’t there. Checked with the apartment leasing office and they didn’t know anything about it. Then out of now where it mysteriously shows up at my place the next day. I’m glad I got it though.
*I’m just seeing this question now @Kashiyukasthighs
What do you need out of the new laptop you’ll be purchasing? If it’s something you’ll be carrying around with you or will it primarily be in one place? What’s your budget like? What type of work will you be doing on it?*
I’m only going to use the laptop for school/music/word processing/watching videos, pretty much. But I really don’t want windows 8, shits more complicated than it needs to be.
I forgot to mention, I do use Adobe Audition/Photoshop pretty frequently, but this current laptop I have (3 years old and i5 cpu) handles everything exceptionally fine. I have $600 to drop on a laptop.
Once I really looked around and not coming across any Vita deals or even seeing a respectable selection of games/units readily available I figured that Sony must have the vita on life support. So I got a “New” Nintendo 3DS for about half off after all the discounts. Sorry Sony.
If you still have a Windows 7 os disk then you can straight up install it on whatever laptop you buy. I read that you can also downgrade from windows 8 pro and windows 8.1 pro back down to Windows 7. But there’s a certain process for that, plus you’d still need a Windows 7 OS disk.
I’ve been looking for laptops that meet your criteria within your price range and most of them are refurbs. There’s an Acer Aspire and an Asus model that meet your criteria, both of them new, but they’re heavy at 5.5 and 5.1 pounds respectively. That’s heavy for you to be logging around with you from school and back, unless your last laptop was around that weight. *
If you guys are still looking for a Wii U. Check your local targets, that 250 deluxe bundle is already sold out online. You can probably also price match at best buy.
At this point I think I’m going to get a wind8 laptop and put a linux distro on it, probably Mint since I used that like 5 years ago comfortably. Hopefully this UEFI shit won’t be much trouble.
I have built many computers in my lifetime, and nothing bothers me more than seeing a person who is tech savvy have a complete disregard for proper cable management!
I just heard about this and I’m seriously considering it.
What really interests me about WiiU is that the games just seem “fun”. No ultra-realistic shooter crap or hardcore open world games (not that either of those are bad), just old-school, fun games that you can invite some friends over, order pizza and rock out for hours on.
