A great majority of folks purchase locally from PC builders, or super centers such as Comp USA, Office Max, Office Depot, Computer City, Staples, BJ's, Sams Club, Costco's, etc., etc., etc.
The idea is to keep the sale IN the state,
and also help to make it more affordable.

Pocono: Not everyone grouses and crabs. I appreciate the information. I have been thinking about buying a laptop and I will buy it during the tax free week.
