I got this from techbargains. Buy.com has the New Media LIVEWIRE I-PORT for $29.99 after $10 mail-in rebate. Sounds like a good deal, but I've never heard of the company. Anyone wanna vouch for this product?

This is a bad deal. All Flooz deals is suck. Don't believe me? Buy something with flooz and then try to return it. Hassles like you wouldn't believe. And some of their stores...iGadget.com anyone? I swear to god that it's a one-man outlet operating out of the owner's mom's basement...
Yes, I'm sure the HD is refurbished. Even the label says "refurbished 10gig HD" (or something to that effect. But it's nice and quiet (and uh, almost 20 gig), so I'm keeping it. Incidentally, isn't it kind of a scam to say something is 10 gig when it's really only 9.2 gig or so...
I kinda agree with peeps, to an extent. If your computer is totally flawless, then just making up a 'script' to get $$ back could pose some ethical problems. However, if your keyboard is loose, the hard drive sounds like an engine, windows ME constantly freezes, and you have a dead red pixel...
Me: Hi, my laptop's hard drive is really loud, I'd like a replacement.
Dell CSR: Sure, no problem.
Me: Can I get a different model HD?
Dell: No, sorry. We only use one model.
Me: Oh, the fujitsu huh?
Dell: No, IBM Travelstar.
Me: (to myself--huh? I thought they gave me a fujitsu) OK...
johnmiles, you just have to be persistent. They gave me the runaround too, but finally I got confirmation. Later on, when they screwed something else up, I got them to issue my rebate through a credit to my credit card, which I've already received. If you get a CSR that doesn't give you the...
I'm starting to hear a loud noise from my laptop. I never noticed it before, but now I can't help but notice it and it's irritating me to death. Now I'm thinking it's the hard drive, but I'm not sure. What can I do to reduce this noise?
I never noticed this before, but today the noise that comes from my i4000 seems annoyingly loud. Is this normal? I don't know if it's the fan or the cpu, but it sounds like a refrigerator. Maybe it's just my imagination? Is this standard for laptops?
Ab,
Call Customer Support and request that they send you an email confirming that you are entitled to the 20% discount. If you don't get paid in 8 weeks, call them back with your proof.
If ME is fine for you, and you're nervous about installing Win2k, maybe you should stick with it? That...
huh? What happened to my message? Anyways, to the point: will I have trouble installing Diablo 2 and The Sims on Win2k? If so, is there anything that I can do to fix it?
I'm getting the W2k OS upgrade as well. I know that it isn't meant for gaming, but I would like to put in some non-intensive games such as Diablo 2 or the Sims on my i4000. Am I going to have problems installing these games? If so, what can I do to fix them?

wassup, what's your beef? So anyone who disagrees with your point of view is a brown-noser? If you don't want to take the survey, so what? Some people here don't mind, some do. But the majority of them aren't insulting each other because of it. Why don't you get off your high horse and find...
This site hasn't saved me a dime! in fact, because of Anandtech, I've lost THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on items that I otherwise wouldn't have bought. Is my new Inspiron 4000 really all that great? Yes! But I surely don't NEED it. And why the hell did I buy that veloCD 12x/10x/32x burner for the...
maverick, that show you speak of is not done by Asians, so don't make that false claim. The creators and writers are all white, and most Asians with any sense DO NOT like it. Just because there's one Japanese sell-out that's an executive there, doesn't make it acceptable to the majority of...
ok, I see it now. But the $14.95 model clearly isn't in-line from the picture. I think only the $34.95 models are in-line. Do you know for sure though that this'll make your laptop work overseas? It does seem like it, so maybe that's a dumb question
I just received an email confirmation that they have credited my discover card 20% of the purchase order. If your name is not on their rebate list, but you know that you did everything correctly, just persist and eventually they'll have to cave in. Especially if you've got print outs as proof.
well, after much complaining, they credited my credit card 20% of the purchase price. At least, they said they did. I won't be completely relaxed until I can get Discover to actually confirm this.
1) i4000
2) 11/28
3) 12/4
4) Not only have I NOT received a confirmation, they have TWICE REFUSED to give me one. Here is the first refusal:

Best Buy has PNY 128mb SODIMM RAM on sale for $89.99 this week, and if you're on their mailing list, you probably also received coupons in the mail good for 10% off any single item in the store. The coupons are only good for this weekend, but it would bring down the price to less than $81.
I am having a really difficult time getting Dell's 'Customer Care' division to send me a confirmation of my 20% cash back. The only email I got from them said that I would NOT get a confirmation. I should just sit on my hands and HOPE that I get the 20% back. Plus, trying to contact them...
I asked for confirmation on my 20% rebate, and here is their reply:

Hello,

notification and the rebate will not be reflected on the...
