«Buy a computer»

Salesperson: Нow can I help you today?

Fernando: I am thinking of buying a laptop and I have a few questions.

Salesperson: What would you like to know?

Fernando: A friend of mine recommended buying a Lap-Pal 2000 I wondering about power compatibility. I’ll be taking this computer back to Argentina with me.

Salesperson: That’s not a problem. This laptop has a universal power adapter. You won’t need to buy anything extra.

Fernando: O’key. Does the package include modem and DVD?

Salesperson: Yes, it does

Fernando: That’s good. Is this all software that’s included? .

Salesperson I think you’ll find that the software package is very versatile. But if you anticipate needing something specific, I am sure we can help you out.

Fernando: I’ll need something with more robust capabilities for spreadsheets and databases.

Salesperson: Then I’d suggest moving up to the Versa 2 package. It’s a little more sophisticated and it has enhanced printing and expended memory.

Fernando: How much is this package?

Salesperson: Right now we’re running a promotion. You can get the Versa 2 software option for $79 over the base price.

Fernando: I see. Would you suggest purchasing an extended warranty?

Salesperson: Oh, yes. The package comes with a standard one – year warranty on parts and labor, but I’d recommend getting that extended option. It’s only an additional $259, and you can avoid paying for repairs during the first three years.

Fernando: Would you consider throwing in an extended warranty?

Salesperson: Well, at these low prices, I am afraid I can’t do that

Fernando: Mmm…O’key I’ll take it anyway, with the standard warranty.
