Compliments of the Season!!!
Dear Good People of Nairaland, I am a Student in one of the Federal Universities and in need of Laptop as we all know that its a must-have for every student. At last! I'm getting one soon and a bit confused whether to buy it online so they deliver it to me in Ado-Ekiti(Free Delivery) or buy it from Computer Village since I will be going to Lagos soon and please indicate why computer village is preferable, why Jumia is preferable or U can suggest any other online purchase channel that is better.
Moreso, which between these options sells at a cheaper rate?,
I also want to know the best type of hp with 4GB,750GB to opt for.

Online shopping would offer you cheaper rate but you have to be sure of their supplier.

Computer village? Please if you are not conversant with computer village don't go alone so that you won't buy refurbished laptop and go home and start coming here to tell us the laptop I bought last month can't ................. Again. (but if you have someone in computer village you are good to go or you meet a good computer technician to accompany you to Computer villa you just find small money for him.
Online shop may not give you the best quality but you can still go for some reputable guys like jumia/conga/karma etc.

Since you are not knowledgeable about such your best bet is Jumia/Konga.
The type of Laptop to buy depends on your budget and if you are into gaming and 3d rendering.

What is your budget?

That would get you a good HP or Dell system with 4 Gb Ram, 500 Gb hard drive and an okay 4th gen Intel Pentium processor system.

It is best if you order from Konga or Jumia and pay on delivery.

You have access to varieties in computer village. Offers in Jumia and Konga will limit you to whatever specs they have in stock

BTW, which Fed University do we have in Ekiti State?

As someone said, don't go to computer village unless you have someone looking out for you. With a 65-70k budget, you can get a fairly good laptop. Fairly good becomes really good if you are not necessarily looking to buy a new computer. I usually buy PCs for people and I can tell you that computer village is a much better option if you know your way around and have contacts as opposed to junks or Konga where they only market what they have at the moment which may not be the best you can get for your budget.

Thanks to U all for the wonderful advice. Happy 2015 in adv... See U there!
