    God,the number of these I sold at Best buy…rolling my eyes the entire time…and making absolutely sure the customer understood exactly what that phrase meant in this ultra-scammy context…

    Ended up not being able to handle that job. Something about literally full-time debunking of lies printed on everything in sight was exhausting for me.

      How were they trying to justify that statement?

        You bought the computer and paid a subscription to be able to replace the computer with a new one every year or two.

            It actually was a good concept cause you’d get a massive discount on a new PC by signing up for the subscription program. The only thing “scummy” about it was the way it was marketed.

      I sold a bunch of them used… Lol…

      They were basically obsolete the minute they were shipped to stores with the shitty Celeron CPUs, virtually no RAM, and tiny hard drives but people still bought them from me a year later for too much money.
