Futureshop is only 512MB ram?

darn that hp DV4170 is only 1499....my dad paid 1549 for the DV1030 which is only a centrino 1.6/512mb ram....that was just over a month ago.

the FS all-in-one is better but i think that bb doesent have 90 day warranty where as the fs one does. so id prolly get the bb one cuz it has 1 year warranty

well, i did say FS had a "similar" deal as BB... so my mistake... BB has the "better deal" if ur lookin for more ram...

(sorry i didn't actually take the time to compare the specs but generally, they're both VERY similar in specs... and also that SAME printer and LCD "pkg bundle" after MIRs... )

The warranty at Best Buy on the computer is 90 Days, same as Future Shop. If you go into the individual components, you can see this.

The big difference is the RAM in the systems. I got the FS one, since there is no BB in my area, so bringing it back would be a huge pain in the ass for me if I got it from BB. I will probably go into FS and see if I can get the extra RAM thrown in, but I doubt it.

Another difference is you can earn Aeroplan points at Future Shop, but not at Best Buy.

Just noticed that the BB deal is only a printer and not an all in one. The computer itself individually is $100 more at BB, which would account for the extra RAM.

The CPU of BB destop suppport Hyper-Threading Technology, I bought one for my friend yesterday. It also has both DVD-RW and CD-ROM.

[redflagcountry]

The warranty of the LCD has only one year and the response time of the LCD is 25 ms

yeah, so i guess in the END, both "deals" from FS/BB are actually pretty much the same (or similar)....

FS: less ram, but AIO printer
BB: more ram, "reg. printer"

so now its just really personal pref. of where to buy it from...

but like movieking said, u can get aeroplan points at FS...

These things are moving like hotcakes at BB, soldout at Markville and Scarborough Town location. So if you want to grab this deal you have to wait for the next shipment and get there EARLY!
