On 1/31/09, in Charlotte, NC at a liquidation sale I went to go buy a labtop. I found an Acer 5100 with an ok price. It was labled 2 gb of ram, 200 gb of storage. A gentleman came over and we chatted and he confirmed that it was correct and added it had a manufacturer warrenty.
Now when I get home a few days later and turn it on... Ya. How about 896 MB of RAM is what is actually on here. And only 69.5 GB of storage?! Not even close. Completely useless for what I need it for. Not only that but I already checked out the serial number and it is a refab.
Found a name of Vincent Abramovsky with a 90 day warrenty that expired in 1/30/08.2008! He told me it had a manufacturer warrenty. This is not all. Who sells something that doesn't even work? The dvd/cd rom doesn't work! Can't even add software to this piece. I also called the office in Cleveland durring there recorded busines hours. Still waiting on them, needless to say, to call me back.
On a previous post on this company he had to take a 20% restock charge... And I say please tell me how. I would rather take a 20% loss than be stuck with this useless junk. (If you know how just respond back to this link Rich, Thanks)
Oh and to all who read: Never never never buy a computer from liquidation sales. You are better off going to craigs list or pawn shop.
