    So... ordered a $1200 Lenovo Laptop 3 weeks ago...
    Not impressed, 36 RAM GB and still gets laggy if running poker, youtube or itunes + several tabs on browser

    Shouldnt be that way, my PC is 12GB and doesnt do that


    Thats not all, the mousepad becomes glitchy very easily, like if my hands were wet they are not, its a fuckin mess, had to buy a mouse day 2 cause it affected my poker game


    The thing is, I live in Costa Rica. Shipping was $350. For me to send this BS back and exchange for another (risking that it will have the same issues) I have to shell out $350 out, $350 in... penetrate THAT SHIT... im not gonna waste $700 more on this horseshit


    What would you do? Im thinking about a chargebackk

          I think it's foolish to pay anywhere near that much for a laptop. In my experience, they seem to have a short shelf life whether you spend 1k+ or $250. Nowadays, I buy a new laptop for $250-$300 every few years.

              Was it bought directly from Lenovo or a shop that SAID this is what is installed in the laptop? Everything you described is using internet and I will assume its not the fastest in CR. Multi core processors?, SSD and not hard disk, GPU could be working hard for poker especially multi tabling if its not a highend processor. Air flow under laptop for constant cooling.
              These are just shots in the dark HUD, I would ensure it is what what you paid for 1st.

                    I’ve been a MacBook owner for about 10 years now and I’ve thought about getting a windows laptop like Lenovo for poker especially when Traveling.

                    Unfortunately nothing beats MacBooks especially when you can use parallel windows or boot camp. The build quality is so much better and will last easily for 5+ years with no need to bring back for repair.

                    Windows will have better specs but quality is pretty poor when you consider lifespan of any windows laptop to a MacBook.

                      Um no.

                      My Lenovo is awesome so I'm not sure what's up? Using an old spin drive?

                              Pedophile Jeff Bezos will survive. Is not my fault they sell defective shit. Im not gonna lose $700 in taxes over returning it so they refund $1150 and I still end up $700 in the hole

                                i did not even know Lenovo made a $1200 laptop. That is more than my pc and laptop combined and they are pretty good.

                                    That's why I buy desktops over laptops. Easier to replace parts when hardware goes wrong.

                                      specs look good, if you recently updated windows, do a rollback; see if that helps. Or type in search winver, run that, check the version of win 10. If it's old, update it.

                                        no, bro, Im gonna throw it the trash can or give it away to the corner's crackhead

                                        yeah sure


                                        Listen, im not gonna lose $700 to a BILLIONAIRE because they sent me some defective product... no fuckin way...

                                        Jeff Bezos is a scumbag, if this was a small shop in bumfuck, Arkansas I wouldnt and just eat the shit


                                        Like, Ive been avoiding the ********** for 3 weeks now but everytime I penetrate up because the machine fails me I get LIVID and grab my mobile to call the bank and just dont



                                        Like seriously, you guys expect me to keep this as is for $1150? or return it and lose $700? wtf man... Bezos can eat the loss. No children will go hungry cause that bald penetrate lost $1150


                                        But, either way is not like Im happy to do it... i just feel insulted, this is the most expensive laptop ive ever bought

                                          have you done a fresh install of windows?

                                          lenovo's always come with bloatware, most manufactures pre-install a bunch of garbage.

                                                Pretty much got the same pricey Lenovo laptop as Hurry like 3 years ago or so just an older generation.

                                                It's had its issues but is still running. I'll never buy Lenovo again though.

                                                The mousepad is unthinkably bad, almost unusable.

                                                  The mousepad is unthinkably bad, almost unusable.

                                                  Wow, thanks for the validation

                                                  Dude, like I have gotten so angry with this over the last week...

                                                  Ill be coming back to Toshiba, never failed me

                                                    Did you ship it in using a service like Aeropost? If so, they'll eat the cost of shipping on returns. They'll refund the import taxes, too.

                                                    If you shipped direct through Amazon, you're SOL. Buy a plane ticket to Miami through Spirit and do some shopping.

                                                      yeah sure


                                                      Listen, im not gonna lose $700 to a BILLIONAIRE because they sent me some defective product... no fuckin way...

                                                      Jeff Bezos is a scumbag, if this was a small shop in bumfuck, Arkansas I wouldnt and just eat the shit


                                                      Like, Ive been avoiding the ********** for 3 weeks now but everytime I penetrate up because the machine fails me I get LIVID and grab my mobile to call the bank and just dont



                                                      Like seriously, you guys expect me to keep this as is for $1150? or return it and lose $700? wtf man... Bezos can eat the loss. No children will go hungry cause that bald penetrate lost $1150


                                                      But, either way is not like Im happy to do it... i just feel insulted, this is the most expensive laptop ive ever bought
                                                      Sounds like you have a hardon for Jeff Bezo???

                                                        Shouldnt be that way, my PC is 12GB and doesnt do that


                                                        Thats not all, the mousepad becomes glitchy very easily, like if my hands were wet they are not, its a fuckin mess, had to buy a mouse day 2 cause it affected my poker game


                                                        The thing is, I live in Costa Rica. Shipping was $350. For me to send this BS back and exchange for another (risking that it will have the same issues) I have to shell out $350 out, $350 in... penetrate THAT SHIT... im not gonna waste $700 more on this horseshit


                                                        What would you do? Im thinking about a chargebackk
                                                        why i buy small desktops... never have had issues

                                                        never had a physical HD go bad on me... had one pc last 9 years

                                                        now i have a new small pc bought black friday and use the ssd that came with it as boot drive and use huge ssd drive i bought separately to store all downloads

                                                        everything works amazing for $500 plus cost of 2nd ssd

                                                            BTW, whats that scumbag up to today? AH YES! Donating 7.7% of his money to battle "climate change". Those freemasons love their 7s, 11s, 13s, 33s, 39s, 911s, 322s & 666s.

                                                            The world's richest man is giving about 7.7% of his $130 billion net worth to launch the Bezos Earth Fund, he announced on Instagram on Monday.



                                                            TRANSLATION: I'm investing w/hopes of taxing all of you to ROI 100% - If I can kill some of you along the way its a WIN/WIN. Then I can take the orphan kids to my new house I bought from David Geffen which has underground tunnels already! He's such a doll



                                                            BRO, if could take this guy, steal all his money (and donate at least 80%) to finance a military operation to take out pedophiles and the cabal I would, and I would probably off him on the spot, no trial, no mercy, I would



                                                            Lets see, lets say Gary Sinise is worth $100M, I wouldn't steal $20 from him, one of the few Hollyweird actors I can vouch for! I know it sounds Iffy but Robin Hood was a here, and so am I

                                                              Years back, IBM sold off their PC/laptop manufacturing biz.

                                                              China bought it and rebranded it: Lenovo.

                                                              You can probably get decent work out of it via cleansing it of bloatware etc.

                                                              I went a similar route and got a $1k+ laptop. For graphics/video editing/etc. Electricity is expensive here and laptops consume far less energy. Went HP. No complaints thus far aside from windows 10 being shady.

Use one of the shipping services here in Costa Rica, i ship to their warehouse in Miami, and they deliver it to me in CR, if i did it with only a laptop, id pay about $80 and have it in a week.
