I'm not that great with computers so not sure whether it is or not?
I bought a laptop in september. It seemed pretty slow but I can be impatient. When I ut a DVD in, it said DVD playback is not available on windows media player. Click to use intervideowinDVD isntead. This was qite a hassle and took a while to start.
But it was the internt that annoyed me most. It takes a long time to start up, I was forever getting the page can't be displayed, it was really slow and the computer kept freezing when using the internet so i couldn't close the page, click on anything else or even turn the computer off. For some reason google is even worse, the chat takes ages to load and when i try to open an email, i can't scroll down to read it.
I took it back, aske for a refund, they said it was fine, they fiddled about to get windows media player to play DVDs, although they didn't play well, they couuldn't try the internet there as tehy couldn't connect it up, they said it must be my connection. I rang virgin they said it was ok. Went back to shop, still blamed connection. I rang virgin again, they came and checked everything, they tried their computer it was fine, i tried my old computer which was also fine.
Went back to shop, they accepted there may be a problem but said emachines have to approve the refund so they wouldnt refund or even give credit note or replacement but could send it off.. A few days later, tehy said they had carried out recovery and it was fine and ready for collection. Same problems and now it had been reset there was the dvd issue again too. Returned to shop again, said i must have refund this time, they said all we can do is send it off again, but it must be fine. I said my other computer was fine, they said well this is vista, is your other computer that and i said no. He said it has 1024 MB Ram and it took that much just to run vista so the internet was bound to be slow as vista is mch slower than XP.
Is this right?
