The laptop ran decently for the three months I had it then one day I came back from class and it wouldn't come on.The only thing I download to that laptop was Anti-Virus software.I took it to a computer repair shop today and they told me that there was nothing they could do to make it come on. The company I bought this laptop from should give me my money back.
Like I said I will continue to buy from you guys, but never a private seller again. This experience has ruined me.
I have tried in 4 recent attempts to get a hold of the seller via e-mail feedback through Amazon. To no surprise, he knew he screwed me, so why would he answer any e-mails from me or anyone else he dishonestly sold a product to, knowing it was not the product they had ordered and paid him for.
Hmmmmmmmmm where to begin.The item I received was a gift for my husband and to our surprise, when he got it, it was NOT the laptop I had ordered. I have bought before from Amazon and will continue to do so, but never from a private seller, never again.
I feel like he should NOT be allowed to sell products of any kind on any website if he cannot be trusted by that websites customers to send them EXACTLY what they ordered and paid for and nothing less. I am extremely disappointed that this has happened.
I think it is a shame and he should be forced to stop selling on Amazon, but that's just my opinion, as a customer.TY Amazon for being courteous and patient through all this and doing whatever possible you could do. You have to make a mistake to learn from it, and this was my mistake.
When the Microsoft updater offered to run "Genuine Advantage" to check the authenticity I confidently thought "sure, go right ahead." Now every time I restart I get a big message that says I am a victim of software piracy. Before I made the order I checked to see that the advertisement specified "Genuine Windows XP".
It has been working just fine. Today Microsoft told me that the license is not valid.
I bought one of these laptops two months ago. I will probably have to buy a fresh copy of XP ($150) and re-install.
It has a valid certificate of authenticity on the back but does not have a second "refurbished" CoA. When I look at the internal System Properties/General tab it says "XP Corporate" which means it was covered under a volume/site license which can not be transferred or sold.
I also checked the CoA when it arrived. I expect the operating system will eventually simply stop running.
It has served me well the few weeks I have had it now. Oh, and to play SimCity (which doesn't work on Vista). I'd say, maybe 85% as sharp, so it's usually barely noticeable.
The processor is nice and fast. I don't know if this is common in laptops and I sort of stumbled upon the issue. The wi-fi is keeping me connected as I'm typing this from a hotel room.
The other thing is that the soundcard doesn't have all the mixer capabilities you might expect to find in a desktop. There are four high-speed USB connections. The unit is solidly built (perhaps a mite heavy).My only criticisms are as follows:The screen resolution doesn't look quite as sharp as on my desktop monitor.
But I got around it by purchasing an external mixer from the Guitar Center.I initially intended it only as a travel companion but have since begun using it in my recording studio (with Cakewalk Music Creator). All in all, I am quite satisfied with it.The seller shipped it out immediately and it arrived by FedEx or UPS (I forget which) in a matter of days (two or three, as I recall -- it was quick).
