Question : Best 14-16″ laptop @ Costco? Also,should I wait until Windows 7 and/or quad-core laptops are here this summer?
I wanted to buy today, but will wait if necessary. Looked at Best Buy and Amazon, but you can’s beat Costco’s return and support policies. Thank you!
quad core laptop

If you can wait I would because windows 7 is much better than vista and quad-core are coming out soon which will make the dual core obsolete. Not cool when under a year of buying a new computer and spending all that money you have a what’s considered “old hardware” computer

The free upgrade system for Windows 7 is expected to kick in around June 26, but hasn’t been confirmed yet.
I’d try to hold off at least another month to see what the deal is.
You’re also more likely to see things start to go on special as Windows 7 starts to get more promoted around then, and as back to school deals start showing up.
If you’re looking at Costco’s Dell models, you might want to see if there’s a difference going directly with Dell, too. At least last I checked, Costco didn’t always get their latest and greatest, and if you could catch a Dell special, you could get a better deal at times from them directly.

As always with computers, and especially now (as you noted), it is better to delay the purchase until you must have it (you will always get more for your buck).
Also, I suggest not to limit yourself to just Costco. First search what laptop is best for you, and then search for the best place to buy it.
