I want to buy a Dell laptop in the USA while on holiday?
I am going on holiday to California and want to buy a laptop from Dell as it's cheaper and different options than in the UK but they don't deliver to hotels. Can you advise please? Thanks

Answer 1 :
Dell apparently has retail outlets. You can probably have your order delivered to one of their outlets for pick-up. They also probably ship via UPS or FedEx. If yes, they can ship the laptop to a UPS or FedEx location where you have to show ID to collect the package. There are almost certainly UPS and FedEx locations close to your hotel. Either call them or chat online to discuss options: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/sales_chat_premium?c=us&cs=22&l=en&s=dfh&~isavailable=false&~lt=popup Don't forget to buy a USA to UK adapter plug - usually easier to find in the US than in the UK. Make sure the adapter fits the plug - most laptops have a 3-prong "grounded" plug. Good luck!
Answer 2 :
You can buy some models of Dell laptops at Best Buy - but they will have limited choices and you'll have to choose something in stock with no customization. Don't forget that you'll have to declare and pay customs duty on your purchase upon return to the UK that may negate any savings you are looking at. And any warrantee coverage that comes with the computer will be valid in the US only.
