30 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews
The product has received very negative feedback from verified buyers, with one user reporting that the refurbished unit bricked completely after less than three weeks of use. The purchasing and return experience with Newegg was described as chaotic and rule-heavy, though the user still liked the laptop itself. Overall, the sentiment is strongly negative due to reliability issues and poor customer service.
Pros
- Liked the laptop itself
- Appreciated for less than 3 weeks
Cons
- Refurbished unit bricked after 3 weeks
- Chaotic purchasing and return experience
