I love Best Buy. They’ve been fabulous. There are several HIGHLY successful IT professionals in the family and they shop there too.
I shop there. The two in the north end of Seattle have good sales folks. Good advice on printers. A year ago sold me one that was 50 bucks less than what I planned to buy because it suited me better. Told me a while ago I did not need a spendy usb headset, just needed a cheap converter for headsets I own.
I liked CompUSA. The carried the higher end laptops that I use for my work. Now I have to buy those online as BB does not have them.
I have some Apple items for entertainment, iPad, iPad mini and Airport extreme. Once I broke my iPad which had insurance through the Apple store. Broken screen and I had to pay 120 even with insurance. The mini I got at BB. The insurance there covers broken screens completely
I am sure that the stores vary by region, but the ones by me are good. I remember before having them and Computer USA I had to buy computers either online or Ballard Computer store. Had to check computer stores every time I was in another city to see what they were carrying. It was like an Easter Egg hunt for years.
