Checkin' Out The Computers And Hot Booty In WalMart

Now, I don't want you to think I'm some pervert who goes around looking at booty all day - although, it's hard NOT to sneak a peek at all of these beautiful bootylicious babes out here with their tight jeans and array - but, I can't believe all of the fine eye-candy that was strolling around WalMart while I was on the hunt for the elusive SuperComputer.

Man, there were all kind of babes in that store - of every flavor and persuasion. I said, "damn... What In The Hell is going on in WalMart?"

Those girls were screaming with sex-appeal and salaciousness in all those hip-huggers and bosom boosters. Oh my goodness. Thick thighs. Pretty feet with those cute little painted toes. Soft baby-smooth skin. Luscious tender arms. Mmph! And their hair didn't look bad either.

I'm serious. I wasn't sure if I'd stumbled onto the set of a rap video or walked into a ladies clothing store by mistake.  There was booty Everywhere.

Wooo-wee. 20, 30, 40, 50... It didn't matter how old they were, they all were looking good.

Man, there were some honeys in there so fine they made you want to just drop to your knees and cry like a baby. Imagine some of the prettiest girls you've ever seen in one place and that's what it was like in WalMart that day.

It took every ounce of muscle I had in my head to keep my eyeballs focused forward... (luckily, my peripheral vision was unobstructed.)

Let me tell you... If you're single and looking to meet someone, WalMart isn't a bad place to shop - for knick-knacks or a relationship. And, you never know who you might meet. Hardworking classy ladies shop in there for deals and discounts too.

Anyway...

I was sweating bullets because right now, I'm in no position to date. And, I don't wanna date until I get going on my MasterPlan of making a Million. And, any one of these hot babes out here would be a complete distraction and total disaster to the development of my Plan. A plan that I really haven't even came up with yet. So, I Had to stay Cool.

Somehow, I managed to get through the landmine of bootylicious bombshells and make my way to the electronics department without anybody asking me "what the hell are you looking at?".

And, of course, they didn't have a huge selection. Hell, it's WalMart. So, I really didn't expect them to have more than two or three computers on the shelf anyway. But, they surprised me with about six or seven options. And, one of the computers even had a Solid State Drive! I said, "Damn! Go WalMart."

I can't remember what brand it was because I'm not too interested in anything with less than 500 gigs on the hard drive. But, overall, I think it was still middle-of-the-road ("high-end" if you're a WalMart shopper like me).

But, I was looking for something ultra-high-end without the ultra-high-end price. And sitting right beside that Solid State Drive computer was a Dell Inspiron 15R notebook with  8GBs of RAM and 1 Terabyte of hard drive space for only six hundred and ninety-eight bucks (698). My head almost fell off my damn neck. I said, "what the hell???"

I couldn't believe it was a Dell. And, for less than a thousand bucks! ???



It wasn't the sexiest computer I've seen, but it didn't look bad either.

And, the combination of features put it well within being one of the "Top Ten" computers of 2012. 
 
Four USB ports - two on each side with two near the back end so that you won't have a lot of USB stuff plugged up and in your way. Sweet graphics. Fifteen point six inch screen... An i5 processor... And, you know Dell has one of best (if not THE Best) sound systems of all notebooks around.. So, I was salivating in a moment of ecstasy..... until these fine-ass Asian babes rolled up beside me.

I said, "damn." Just when I thought I had all six of those laptops to myself, here comes the parade.

Then, some homeboys showed up. Then, a bunch of damn kids showed up. Then, some blondes showed up. Then, some sexy senoritas and nubian princesses showed up. And, they all started eyeballin' My Computer - and asking me questions like I'm a sales clerk in the store. I almost couldn't resist carrying on a conversation but after a few words, I said, "Here you go. Check it out."

Maybe that's the geek in me, I don't know. But, when I get excited about a technology (or, anything) everything else sort of fades to black and I don't care. Plus, I didn't want to get distracted. I decided to come back when things calmed down.

But, I can't lie. Some of those chicks were smelling good and looking good. Mmph!

Anyway...


To make a long story short, I ended up over at the iPod/iPad counter and decided on an 8GB iPod Touch. I remembered some of the reviews I read about the iPod Touch on Amazon.com and decided it might be the just was I was looking for in a portable PC. I needed something simple I could carry around while I was at work AND that would allow me to do basic searches and business transactions online. This was it. An iPad is just too big and ergonomically unfeasible (although it has the keyboard you can hook onto it) and you have to pay a monthly service fee, so it was easy for me to pass on that option.



There was a little bit of drama over there with the counter lady about price-matching and whatnot, and being overcome with rage, I got the 8 gig. I could not believe that dumb broad wouldn't call Best Buy and verify the price for me. Hell, on WalMart's website it says you don't have to have the ad in hand anyway. So, I took the 8GB model and left.

I got half-way up the street before I cooled off. Then, I went back into the store and took the 8GB iPod Touch back and got the 32GB I originally wanted.

I really didn't plan on buying Anything. I was just researching and trying to track down the elusive SuperComputer that will help me complete my MasterPlan.

But, Karma (or Lust) must've been breathing down my neck because when I got back to the electronics department, I was feeling so good in the WalMart Experience that I felt like I had the seven-year itch for a shopping spree! (All of that damn booty probably.)

Man, I bought the extended warranty, screen covers, clips, chips, dip, and the whole nine yards. Hell, I had to buy a drink to cool down from all of that high-powered shoppin' I was doin'.

When I got home and started unloading all of that stuff, I said, "Damn! What the hell???"

"I didn't intend on buying all of this crap." (or, any of it.) So, I don't know what the hell happened.


I know I was pissed and on my way to get my money back and somehow I ended up buying all of This "stuff".

I was confused and ashamed of myself because I had lost my focus. It was despicable. 

(I guess too much booty will make you lose your mind, won't it?)

But, at least I didn't have to deal with the same lady behind the counter. That chick was evil as Hell.

But, her cute co-worker who sold me all of that stuff... damn! Now, that chick was hot... And, she was sweet as pie.

Notes:


I'm not a Dell spokesperson. In fact, I've always avoided Dell computers because they're heavy as hell and bulky compared to other laptops with similar (and sometimes better) features. But, for the price and features, the 15 inch Dell Inspiron 15R may be the way to go - unless you want the 17 inch screen.

BUT!

This is only the first computer I've actually got the chance to view while on my hunt, so don't think I'm suggesting that this Dell is the best out there. There are better Dell Inspirons and Special Edition XPS notebooks on the Dell website also. Plus, you can customize any of those PCs to your liking. The WalMart model was nice but I'm willing to pay a little more for the i7 processor.

If there are other features you want, need, like, or don't need, this is probably a good model to compare them to.

Review - My Best Buy Computer Purchase Experience

If you're at a crossroad and not sure whether you should purchase your computer online or walk into a "brick and mortar" and test drive what they have, then let me tell you, don't stress yourself over it because you could win or lose either way. Trust me. There is no shortage "lemons" in the electronics industry. So, go with what ever inspires you.

I've talked to a few of my co-workers who have purchased their computers online and I've talked to a few people (including co-workers) who have purchased their computers from places like Wal-Mart, hhgregg, and Best Buy, and most of the people I've talked to have had good experiences online and offline.

But...

Some people have also had nightmares online and offline.

Believe it or not, most of the issues people have had (and are having) are with "brick and mortars", which is surprising because you'd think you'd get a lot better service by dealing with an actual store and customer service reps face-to-face. But, this is not the case.

My first new computer purchase was an Acer Aspire One Netbook with an 11 inch screen. But, it wasn't my first choice.

What happened was... I needed a computer with more memory since my Dell only held 40 GBs. And 20-something gigs were being used just to make the computer run. So, really, I had less than 20 GBs to store my music, photos, offline pages, and documents on. Well, one day, I saw a few ads in the paper for these netbooks priced around $200 - $240 with 240 to 320 GBs of memory and thought I'd better hurry and get down to Best Buy before they ran out.

I chose Best Buy because I shopped there before for computer accessories and other knick-knacks like flash drives, software, and cables.  Plus, they had the lowest price. And, because they had more to choose from.

Well, when I got there, they didn't have the computer that was advertised. And, the computers that were "in my price range" were no longer in my price range because the damn Geek Squad had done something to the computers and whatever they did bumped the price of these Netbooks up another 80 bucks!

I was like: "what the hell? well, can you take whatever the Geek Squad did OFF of the computer?"

The saleslady was like: "No. They removed all the ads, pop-ups,  and unnecessary software for you. That's why it costs more. They can't put it back on there." She was cold-hearted as hell. "Buy it or move out of the way."

I said to myself, "these Assholes."

Now, who told them to do that shit for $80?

I could've removed that crap myself. And, if I couldn't, the hell with it. As long as I didn't have to look at those ugly icons on my desktop I would've been satisfied. I could've just deleted them. And, I would've eventually taken care of those pesky pop-ups and ads anyway - eventually.

Why in the hell does Best Buy think most people want the Geek Squad to remove that stuff and charge an extra 80 bucks??? If most customers wanted that crap done, all of those "Geek Squad computers" would've been the first ones sold. Instead, all of the "virgin" computers were gone and shelves were full of that Geek Squad crap.

They didn't even have a refurbished netbook or anything in the overheads. Everything was gone.

Anyway, I got so pissed at this "bait and switch tactic" that I stormed out of the store and went across the street to Target. Hell, Target is just as clean and friendly as Best Buy. And, I remembered they had an ad for a netbook so I went to give them a try.

Target did me right. The saleslady there was just as knowledgeable as the saleslady at Best Buy and she enlightened me about the benefits and disadvantages of having the Netbook over a tablet or a full-size laptop. I even found myself becoming more interested in purchasing a tablet but stuck with the netbook due to her recommendations.

Anyway, the netbook was around 229 or 249 dollars and I bought a new bag and some flash drives with it. The total came to over $300 but I can say that she thoroughly alleviated all of my pains.

I felt so good, I wanted to go back into Best Buy and flaunt my new gear, but I said the hell with them... The Internet highway was calling my name.
