    Default Wow computer rippoff

    Look my aunt bought my Grandparents a brand new laptop but look at the specs:
    Ram: 382
    Processor: intel celeron processor cpu 1.73 Ghz
    It was manufacture by Sager
    My grandparents are on Retirement money and they bought the computer for 800$


    While check this out

    So... did your Grandparents buy it or did your Aunt buy it for them? I'm confused.

    Bottom line is... yes, it does sound like whoever bought it was ripped off. Certain stores like to do that to you. You should see the wide price range on Memory upgrades. 1gb sticks go up to like 300 dollars and even more. lol

    384, fix'd.

    ONE: Never buy a laptop unless you intend to travel
    TWO: If you're going to get a computer, do a little information searching to learn how to build your own.
    THREE: All computers are overpriced unless you're going to follow through with step TWO.

    Your aunt got butt****ed hard on this piece of shit, I'd go back and beat the **** out of whoever sold it to me with the very same laptop, thing is probably a brick, amirite?

    The fact that it has 384 RAM is terrible, truly terrible, you're not supposed to mix two different sized sticks of RAM, so obviously the people who made it and possibly sold it are ****ing stupid to begin with.

    Damn, that's horrible.

    U can mix if u got different sections (4 slots) but yes u got ***** hardcore, I would sell a computer 3x bettter then that for only 400USD. Laptops now adays don't get sold new (1k) w. less then a core duo prossesor and 1gig ram.

    Lolz read this in malaysia.*thats where i stay*
    Computers are sold for like ummm 1,200
    wen it shld only be sold for like 800.
