Shopwiki to the Rescue!

One afternoon a few months ago while browsing the Internet I realized my computer was acting odd. This odd behavior continued for several weeks until it became eminent that it was to be replaced. I had been so far out of the market that I had no idea where to go or who to talk to regarding a suitable replacement. That being said, I knew exactly where to start my search - Shopwiki. Shopwiki is a comprehensive online shopping comparison site that has changed the way online shoppers look for products. Like a search engine such as Google, Shopwiki crawls through cyberspace finding every store on the Internet that has the potential to offer you what you want. Rather than listing only those stores that have paid to be included, all stores on the Internet are included in the search. This maximizes your opportunity to find what you need and allows you the opportunity to make the best purchase choice possible. And it doesn't stop there. Other valuable components to this are Shopwiki's product comparison and purchase guides to whatever you want. In my case I went to the Laptop Computer Buying Guide and from there determined where to start my search and what computers to eliminate first. Was a laptop the best option for me and my family? This was a big decision for us. Would we go for the more "bang for our buck" option by purchasing a desktop or would convenience and transportability be more important factors with our type of lifestyle and work? To help us make this decision we went to Shopwiki's Laptop vs. Desktop page. Of course once the decision to purchase another laptop had been made, we needed to decide on the minimum computer specs for the computer of our choice. And, when you look at the specs for individual computers it is of the utmose importance that you actually understand what the computer specs are. Overall, with Shopwiki we were able to narrow our search down from an enormous list of options to our favorites: Apple, Acer and Toshiba and then scan the stores recommended by Shopwiki. Did we find our computer? You bet we did! And we could not be happier with our choice. Could we have done it without this amazing shopping site? Of course. Would we attempt to make a purchase without first going to Shopwiki? No.

  1. For me computer shopping is the easiest thing in the world, I just go to apple.com for computer bliss. I spend way more time deciding which laptop bag to get...

  2. Hi Girls! Well, yes Barb I agree that apple.com is the most blissful place to shop for a computer. That being said, I had to take into account our finances (nil!) and that spoke far more than what I really wanted!!! For me, the best quality and value for our immediate needs was an Acer. Next time will be when we can afford it and it will be Apple all the way!
