Is buying those pre-packaged computers on those shopping channels a good idea?
I am borrowing this laptop from my friend right now, and would like to get one of my own. considering buying from SHOPNBC, HOME SHOPPING NETWORK (HSN), QVC. They often have deals with the printer, the computer, software and accessories included. I know there are the best buy stores, the walmarts kmarts costco to buy from but don;t u have to buy the software separately and in the end if that was the place i were to buy them from?
I don't really need much of software, yet i feel might as well get a good deal. suggestions and feedback on this.
also, this popped into my head, is getting the biggest screen (about a 17) laptop better in the long run, thinking of either a 15 or 17"...
God bless. Please reply quickly as I am not sure when my friend will need this borrowed computer back.
Oops, left out a few words: "in the end if thats the place i bought them from (the marts etc..) i would spend a lot more to buy the items separately vs. the pre-packaged deals w/ the shopping channels?"

I would at least buy them retail, in case I need to return something.
I also don't like package deals in principle. I would sooner buy the devices I want, when I want and am able to afford them, rather than being forced to buy an included device I may not want, or may be the lower end device.
As for screen size, I'd get the smaller one to remain portable, but get a bigger LCD monitor to use it as a desktop system.

Yes, I have, and some of that "stuff" actually DOES work. However, on general principle, I stay AWAY from ANYTHING with Billy Mays on the "cover." GAWD! I can't STAND that man's VOICE! Some of the stuff makes it to the landfill, but some does not. Oh, and don't begrudge the label, "Made in China." Fully 80-90% of all toys are made in China, and not all of it is crap. And, if you recall (at least you HISTORY buffs out there!) there used to be a time when the label, "Made in JAPAN" carried with it the conotation of crappy goods. Nowadays, products made in Japan have a quality standard attached to it. And I have one word to explain what made the change.... DEMMING. (Look that name up in wikipedia!) I'm not opinionated, I'm just ALWAYS RIGHT!
