I have been shopping at Microcenter for several years now for stuff I need right away. The selection is really good. These guys consistantly (to me on more than one occasion) pull the infamous "bait and switch." Even the store manager is in on the gig. He actually laughed at me when I asked about a deal they just published and advertised that they were out of stock. They always seem to advertise a good deal, only to be out of stock EVERYTIME. They only seem to have adware-laden el-cheepos or the more expensive re-furbs (Also sold with adware pre-installed). Do yourself a favor and only use these guys in a pinch or shop at reputable places like the Apple store or Dell dot com.
Pros: location
Cons: management treats you like a number
