I tought I'll buy a new laptop last week.
Went to the mediamarkt. I've choosen one with hdd. That was cheaper and I have a nice ssd at home, so I tought I'm gonna change that so I've asked the salesman about the hdd. I mean if I take it out and replace it with an ssd, it'll invalidate my warranty? Said yes. But they gladly change it to me if I bring my ssd in for a dirt-cheap €79. I said you are defenetly lost your mind. It takes 5 screws and around 5 minutes.
Anyway. I've choose an another one with ssd. But there was a sticker on it too, means it is prepared to use out of the box. It means as always, the windows is full with advertises, demos and annoying settings. And I don't use windows anyway. Ohh and it costs €29. I wanted one without this thing. Said ok, he'll check it. Comes back and said these modells are all prepared with this. I've asked him to show me a product which is 'clean'. He replied "actually all our laptops came prepared".
So I went mad and left them. This whole procedure takes more than an hour with one lesson: never go there again to buy a computer.
But at the end I've found a solution. Configurable laptops with 2 year warranty even if you upgrade it. Thats what I'll buy soon. I've had enough of big brands bullshits about unnecessary features and other bullshit. I'll buy what I need, not more, not less.
I'll write down the brand if anyone interested.26 -
Fucking Mediamarkt. I ordered a Switch and Animal Crossing which supposedly were in stock, immediately deliverable. Not only did they not arrive on time (which was already a week later) I still don't even have a purchase confirmation email. As you might have guessed now all Switch Lite models and Animal Crossing New Horizons are out of stock
For fuck sake, don't sell things you don't have! >:(6 -
Mediamarkt and Saturn seem to have vast discounts on consoles, some phones and laptops until this weekend.
100€+ discount on most.
So if you want to burn some money,, it might be worth looking.
Just got myself a Pixel 3a with 110€ discount.2
