I agree, their shopping experience was insanely terrible. Tons of models with slight differences in model numbers that all seem like 99% the same laptop. Finally find one that suits my needs and it's more expensive than a new MacBook Pro anyway so why bother.
Additionally, the chance your new $2000+ laptop will be $500 a few months later lightly used on Ebay is really high. So I just wait. My current personal laptop is a nice Thinkpad with an i7 I picked up for $300 on craigslist. Sure the screen feels like it's from the 90s, but it mostly stays plugged into a monitor.
