I got this laptop for Christmas. Unfortunately I didn’t notice the seller reviews before I ordered. D’oh!

Most of the complaints are about items not shipping, but some of them are about the laptop being slow and seeming to not be “new”.

The reason I got this laptop was because it has a DVDRW which is hard to find these days, more USB ports, 16gb ram, Windows 7 and a 500gb hard drive. It’s fucking heavy too, which I’d have to get used to. I was excited, but when I got on it, I didn’t have to set up Windows, which was concerning. I wanted to do that myself and customize it to my liking. Also it made me feel that it wasn’t “new”. It was actually “refurbished” because it had some scratches on the top, but I wasn’t concerned because it was only cosmetic, no one had owned it previously. Now, I think someone must have dropped the fucking thing and done some actual damage, because DAMN is it slow! Why would a new computer be that slow? Something is wrong here. I have 30 days to decide if I want to return it. I’m going to take it to some computer repair guys I trust and have them look it over. If they can identify and hopefully fix the problem, I might be able to keep it. If not, I’m going to have a word with the Newegg support and get my money back. Apparently others have said that Newegg has had issues contacting that particular vendor O_o I don’t know why they continue to sell their products if they are that unreliable.

The thing I really liked about it was the clarity of the screen. I can see things so much clearer than on this laptop. I mean it is CRYSTAL clear. I really hope my computer guys can find a solution before my 30 days is up…

Anyways, Merry Christmas, Merry Yule and Happy (late) Hanukkah to all of you. I hope your holidays are warm and cozy.
