An online company, Blue Hippo, trying to get the best of the not-so-tech-savvy. Of course, they didn’t take into account DiggNation.
To break it down a little for you, You put $99 down on the desktop. Then pay $39.99/week for 52 weeks. That is $2079.58 + the $99 down = $2178.58 for a computer. Must be good, huh? Here are some Dell computers with comparable/better features, none of them exceeding $600. Why? Because the computers they are offering are bottom of the barrel computers.

The laptop they are offering does not even have the minimum required amount of RAM to run the OS it comes with. They mask this little scam by telling the customers it does not matter what kind of credit you have….because clearly, no matter how bad yours is, their’s is probably worse.

So, stay away from Blue Hippo and make sure to tell your friends. Later!
