    The product is great. But the price went down 50$ after I purchased and it did not match the price for me.

    I hated that I could never talk on the phone to a human at the Tyler, Texas store. But, what I wanted was a good price. I really wanted to talk to someone in person.

    Ordered laptop and Best Buy messed the delivery address. Waited two weeks and nothing. Best Buy did not replace or fix but rather refunded money for less money I paid. They said I have to go back to store and repurchase. Terrible!!!!

    Hard to write a review when there is no power to the Mac. The cord that plugs into the Mac broke in less than 24 hours after purchase. I was told to contact Apple support and they said there was a fee for the new cord since it was considered damaged. Not much of a warranty or service for a cord. I need to return everything but have been advised that this is damaged so it may impact my ability to return the product.

    Brand new. With issues. My space bar freezes out of the blue. I bought Microsoft office and created an account, added the code, and it’s locked. Since office has no actual tech support and the space bar issues I’ve debated on returning it.

    Waited over 2 weeks to do an in store pick up, delayed for over 5 days, worst customer experience on the app and couldn’t even call the actual store they weren’t taking calls apparently. Day came to pick it up took over 40minutes to give 3 people there products. Worker just decided to help someone else who didn’t even bother getting in line and waiting like the rest of us and had to wait until they were done to continue with us.
