||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop specially to get Mail for Windows 10 since it worked with my employer's email server and I work 100% from home. I was told that Mail for Windows 10 would be supported until Oct 2025. However, after a few weeks I was switched to the new Outlook and have not been able to get back to Mail for Windows 10. I feel misled by BestBuy and Microsoft. Am I stuck with this machine or can I do a trade in?

Outrageous Ripoff

Don't buy open box! Learn from my mistake.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't make the same mistake I did.Best Buy will send you a laptop with no power supply or power cable. They will also refuse to send one because it's open box. I've bought open box items from Best Buy in the past and always had the power supply or cables. This is just my warning to anyone out there trying to save a few dollars on buying an open box laptop. Best Buy will more more than likely not have the cables for it. Just buy new somewhere else.

Abject Failure on Best Buy to deliver order.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Laptop probably fine, but I ordered it on Thursday so it would come Monday. Best buy said it would arrive MOnday. THey sent it on Saturday when I was out of town. I got an email saying they were sending it on Saturday while out of town, called and sent 30 minutes on hold to tell them I ordered the item to arrive MOnday and not to ship it early. They said no problem they would reschedule. Instead of doing that, they they cancelled the order. I went to see what happened the order was cancelled and the price went up $50. Spent an hour trying to get it fixed with customer service and just quit in frustration.

Get rid of edge, it sucks.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having edge as the main search engine really sucks, it limits what you can find. This laptop has tried to block me from using a different service as my main server.

Poor customer service
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer is fine, works as described and was very easy to set up. Transferring everything was very simple. The reason for the two stars was the total lack of customer service.

Did not work properly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Laptop mouse did not work. They had the same laptop in stock just a newer condition & they wouldn’t allow me to exchange for the inconvenience of paying & waiting on them to try to fix it.

Its average
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this computer to replace a 10 year old HP laptop. Its a nice computer but my biggest complaint appears to be the screen. Its very hard on my eyes for some reason. My old cheap HP laptop had the glossy screen(the screen where you could see your reflection when its off, I don't even know what you call those screens but you see them alot on the higher end models). Also the battery drains a tad faster than I like but hopefully that will improve after a few charge/discharge cycles. I estimate to get 4-5 hours usage per battery charge which is probably average though. Other than that its an ok cheap laptop and hopefully I can get 10 years out of it just as I did with my old HP laptop. Also this computer runs in "S" mode and you cant download things like chrome or other web programs unless you take it out of "S" mode. I took mine out of "S" and it is very easy to do. So now I have chrome and my other web program that I use for my job occasionally. On my next computer purchase I will make sure it has the better screen.
