I know we have plenty hardware wizards here. I don't have any problem with my pcs.
I need some advice.
I am in need of a new budget laptop. Looking around (pretty much only Amazon, Costco,Bestbuy,Newegg) for a decent laptop for my needs. Nothing fancy. I don't need a state of the art gorgeous machine that will cost a lot.
Yes, I know the basic rule, the cheaper you get, the more likely things fall apart!
Here's the question:
Amazon is selling a lot of laptops modified/upgraded by third party sellers. Some of these laptops are shipped directly from Amazon warehouses. Obviously, these laptops' seals are broken to increase RAM and/or SSD.
I am wondering if manufacturers claim this action will cause them to avoid warranty. (3 months? 6? I am not sure.)
I looked at a particular model (Acer) at Amazon. The seller changed RAM to 20 GB and SSD to 512 GB. It is only $469.
Apparently, this seller is still making money on it. I don't know how!!
Do you thing new parts (ram and ssd) are the cheapest and low quality compared to what the manufacturers used at the factory?
I sent email to seller thru Amazon. (Amazing Warehouse deals). They claim what they do won't avoid manufacturer warranty.
(Their exact words: Upgrade RAM and Hard drive won't void the manufacturer warranty. You may search "upgrade RAM warranty" or "upgrade SSD warranty" on google and lots of results can confirm that. We also offer the one year warranty on the upgraded RAM and SSD. )
I checked the customers reviews on this particular seller. Just like any product, some claim it is wonderful and some others claim returning the item back to seller is a nightmare!
This is a Prime item, meaning Amazon will take it back within 15 days (my memory is not clear.)
What are your thoughts? Am I rolling the dice or fussing too much over such inexpensive item?
