Starvation Budget Best USA place for laptop value?

Walmart Mexico has some fantastic deals on laptops for under 5000 pesos. With the exchange rate, now is the time to buy in Mexico.

I posted here and sent him the link via e-mail.

Take a look at:

They even provide guarantee their products.

People, the reason the phone is costing him $4 to make a post
Is the cost of the cellular data connection

I would not be surprised if he had to dial a special phone number to get a data connection, where he is, he is not going next door to Starbucks for some Wi-Fi

MEXICOWANDERER, I have been seeing your posts for some time, and wish I had a solution for you. If you have a good, cheaper, data connection better than phone, consiter VOIP, or voice service via internet. Might be a cheaper solution. Up where we are, our voice connection via internet is just a fraction of what cell phone or telephone landline costs, and free longdistance service in included.

Since he has an address in California, why not run a VPN there and VOIP at CONUS rates. Could use something like Obihai as gateway to telco for simplified calling rates to US.

And listen, cautions about international destinations of computers (potentially with restricted encryption or whatnot) has nothing to do with liking the guy. I have read many of his posts with great interest.

But we have to remember, Mexico is a different Country. There are restrictions and regs for a reason. Doesn't matter if it is intentional or accidental, skirting the laws can be the source of great...discomfort :(

Just using a US address for shipping and carrying across the border because vendors won't (or can't?) ship directly to your country does NOT exempt anyone from the regulations.

I don't know the specifics for Mexico, but doing it for some countries will get you a healthy fine and possibly prison time for smuggling ;)

Make sure you know the regs and restrictions for your situation. Sure wouldn't want to see you get jacked up- especially over a few hundred bucks!

Good luck.

If you have a CA shipping address, this should fit your needs:

Asus 15.6" laptop $250 free shipping to US

Sending to email as well.

I am a fan of the Dell auction. Mostly business lease returns I believe.
Have bought a couple through them with great results.

This AM, bought an E6420 laptop, win7 ( which I wanted) $215, plus tax and $17 to ship (255 OTD)

Could be an idea, for your need

Have you looked at Newegg? I don't know about shipping, but they have a bunch of laptops / chromebooks / notebooks for under $200. I am not a fan of "refurbished", so even if you take those out of the search you have a large selection. I have bought a lot of stuff from Newegg over the years, and have been very satisfied.

Edit: after reading your post above, I don't know if this will help. Good luck!
