Gdetrailer..took your advice and ordered from Dell. I know Windows 7 is old but this computer is for my FIL. At 83, he's not big on change. Windows 7 will serve his purpose for as long as he will probably use it.
I just thought it was kind of crazy to advertise a computer that does not exist in Ca. and can't be ordered at the store.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
Good deal and good luck!
Retail stores say, do, advertise anything to "lure" you in, in the past it was always called "bait and switch" unfortunately it is the business as usual mode. Pretty much the norm for these days.
Its not a good deal if you can't find it easily or end up spending a lot of travel time and gas to find it.
I rarely buy anything in the retail sticks and bricks anymore, been burned way to much, spent way to much time and gas money traveling from store to store. Each and every time coming out empty handed, more frustrated and less gas in the tank.
