Posted 20 days ago in response to make connection on tvs to connect the brain of the computer, to use your tv as the screen of the computer
This has been available since they made TV's and computers. Which has been a long time. You can use a VGA, HDMI, Component, S-Video, and half a dozen other connections.

You do realize it is not Best Buys decision on what stores carry Apple products. It is Apple themselves who tell us if our store can sell their product.

Damn, its amazing what you get when you ask an Agent what their customers need. Especially considering that Agent works with the customers every day.

Agree with Chris on this one. Were a store, not a daycare. We're not here to watch your kids, where here to provide you with Electronic solutions.

Posted 20 days ago in response to Does BestBuy sell any devices 4 handicaps people?
Umm what are you trying to say? What product are you looking for? Im sure we have many products that can work with handicap individuals, just depending on what your in need of. Have you tried contacting our 1-800 number or going to your local store to see if they have something your looking for?

And why are you submitting this to Best Buy? We dont make the products, we SELL them. Send this to the manufacturers. As we dont have as much control over what these companies make as you think we do.

Posted 20 days ago in response to Make RAM upgradeable to 8Mg.
Wow! lol. Most laptops come with 3-4 GB of memory standard, and can be upgraded to 8 GB. Best Buy has very little input on what the manufacturers put in the computers. We sell some Sony and Asus laptops that have 6 GB of memory standard.

We carry over a dozen different type of laptop coolers. Have you ever stopped in one of the stores and looked at the different types that we have?

Posted 20 days ago in response to You Should Have Your Own Credit Department
This would be a good idea. The reason you might be rejected is because of your credit, how long you have had a credit card, or how long they have been inactive and not making purchases with them. If you want to know why you got declined, you can request that information from them when you get a letter in the mail.

Posted 20 days ago in response to Laptops with "Linux" Preinalled and all hardware drive setup for you.
Most people dont even know what linux is. If they want linux instead of windows, they can uninstall it themselves. And to have the agents install the operating system when we do the pc setup, it would take WAY too long to do it then, and not everyone gets our setup. That would also force the customer to pay for us to isntall windows on the computer for them, when they just want the computer, or puts the GS in a position where we isntall windows for free for them. A choice would be nice, but taht is something you should bring up with the manufacturers about, not Best Buy.

Posted 20 days ago in response to Your interest-free credit offer
I agree with Coral on this as well. When you sign up for the card, you are signing to agree to the Terms and Conditions. We dont always explain every ToC for you, but if you wanted to know what they were, you can ask us or read the ToC before you sign up for the card.

or an option where you get to build your own pc, and a Geek Squad agent will build it for them.

Posted 20 days ago in response to Change "Office 2010 Pre-installed" wording on laptop boxes
Agreed. Let the customer know that it is only a trial, or not a full version. so many of my customers think that they get the full version jsut because it lists some form of office on it.

I think that this is a great idea! I think it will help customers identify local accounts and give them more ways to get in touch with us. It could be especially good during the busiest months of the year!

Posted 20 days ago in response to 2040x2040p led tv
The only way for that to happen, is to see when the big companies will come out with that. Should say what are Pioneer, LG, Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Panasonic and Vizo's next big plan in HDTV, home theater stuff and home entertainment. DON'T FORGET even if they have ideas on the next stage in this, it will still take a long time. First it might have to go to the Comsumer Electronic Show. There what they show might only be a working sample. For it to be in stores could take like a year and a half to three years. Just look back to the last three Comsumer Electronic Show in Vegas, what has come out, and it is selling at big chain retails like Best Buy, Sears, Costco and Target.

Nice idea. one of my local stores has the picture of the store mananger
Flag as inappropriatehttp://stores.bestbuy.com/451/
All store pages should share the same layout and have a picture of the store mananger. and a list of services the store has,
but is the geography really necessary?

Posted 21 days ago in response to itunes gift cards
Don't forget if you buy on line chances are you use a debit/credit card. You can always add your card info to itunes and then dont need to worry about gift cards

They should be in the TVs. they are a bit like the other ones just cleaned up a little and i think have the brands logo on there. (helps people tell what item costs what too)
