        You’ll have a great career in writing Amazon descriptions.

      We have to get my daughter a notebook computer that runs Windows or Mac OS for her online school she’s starting next semester. Obviously we’re not going to spend the money on a Mac and she doesn’t need anything very powerful because it’s going to be mostly web browsing and Zoom meetings. There are a lot of sub-$300 notebooks on Amazon, and some of them are from companies like Acer and Dell, but there are a shit ton of brands I have never heard of- Excebook, CHUWI, SGIN… some don’t even say the brand. It’s crazy.

        Chuwi is one I have actually come across IRL! Can’t vouch either way for it but anecdotally the owner seemed happy

          It was just a standard Amazon search for sub-$300 Windows notebooks. I’m sure Linux will install on it no problem. How long the hardware lasts is another matter. And I’m guessing it’s all hardwired.

    I can only imagine this going poorly, but in hilariously unexpected ways that I can’t wait to see.

      But the shareholders said otherwise, they expect to make billions! Cause they are trying to maximize their profits. But I agree with you.

    Hmm… how will a return work? 🤔

    Put it the car back in a box and drop it at the nearest dropoff store or UPS/FedEx? 🤣

    Will there be a 30% restocking fee?

    What if the car just doesn’t work after delivery? Missing parts?

    Will there now also be a Amazon Warehouse Deals for used cars?

    The sooner that traditional car dealers go away as a business model the better.
