    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.


    TLDR: Once you go Mac you never go back

    you have a website and make films exposing scumbags, yet you are thinking of doing a chargebakk?

    that's just straight up theft, even thinking of doing it for something you purchased is total bullshit behavior

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    or justification that stealing is OK if it's from a company run by a billionaire

    i really like hurry so he gets a pass on this one... even though he says "what would you do" and then when i answer he goes in attack mode... well if you already know you're gonna do a chargebakk then why freaking ask?

    I didn't attack you lol, I called Bezos a pedo, NOT YOU! Your avatar disturbs me but I wont call u a pedo over it lol.


    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.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/jeff...-change-2020-2


    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.

    Hurryup,

    Id suggest stop shipping directly from Amazon to Costa Rica. 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.

    I'm happy with my new Dell Lap 17".. I paid $1200 for it a few months ago. It's solid and fast.. Unlike my last HP 17' laptop that fell apart on me after a year of use.

    I have several Lenovo laptops and all work great and look very nice too. Best laptops I've owned.

    If you wanted something powerful you should have gotten a desktop. I use a custom built Xidax that allows me to have up to 6 monitor screens if I wanted and is faster than I could ever imagine and cost only about $1300.
