I saw the commercial for the laptop and decided to steal one
Did you mean you got it at a good price as though it was a steal?
Yes, I have to get it now since it's on sale at a discount.
You mentioned stealing but I am confused on the real meaning. Stealing physically without paying would be criminalistic so you would need to return it if you did that. On the other hand stealing as in grabbing a good deal is fine and continuing to do that is smart and saves you money.
I was asked by a friend if I can get the laptop from Dell as though it was an order from him.
I would just worry about yourself and let your friend buy their own laptop for now. If you find something that you think is at a steal of a price, then buy it up right away, as deals that good won't last long.
