Defective

Very disappointed.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered an open box laptop I had purchased from Best Buy’s online platform. I paid extra for it to be “Geek squad certified, cleaned and checked”. After booting it up the laptop had a registered user profile and password locking me out. The word certified is lost on Best Buy. After 45 minutes on the phone with customer support trying to figure out how this happened I was given two options. I could wait 4 days for a replacement and ship back the one I currently had (not an option needed it for work Monday). Alternatively I could drive it to a local store and have geek squad do what I had already paid for. So now I am waiting an additional 24 hours to have it be geek squad certified. Leaving me no time to install work software for work. Next time I will go somewhere else, Best Buy’s guarantees are paper thin.

Not worth the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought two of these laptops for my small business. One for CAD and other for basic business use. One ran Ok but but other crashes often. After loading normally used software, I had to start all over by reinstalling windows. Although a reasonable Cpu, they are slow with 16 megs ram.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After only thirty days, the laptop froze and would not boot back up. Luckily, Geek Squad gave us free tech support since it was such a recent purchase. It's working now, but I'm worried something else may go wrong later.
