Best Linux Laptop

[Steve Alligood]

back in the day, Sears sold these and Compaq computers, with a 4% commission on the Compaq and a 12% commission on the Packard Bell.  Of course, Compaq had a 5% return rate, while Packard Bell had a 25% return rate.

There were good reasons why they left the US market in 2000.
