as someone who used to work at walmart electronics for 2+ years I can safely say there is an option, it's called "in store". It's always been there, but people just seem to brush over it like it's nothing. walmart uses third-party vendors which yes can be scammers but they do have a support team that 8/10 times does something about it.
Says on your order that return eligible until Oct 01. Send that sucker back. If not do a charge back on the credit card. I am sure Walmart doesn't care they are making money off their sales.
Yes I never like to buy from "authorized dealers" using platforms like Walmart or BestBuy because you'll always have to jump through a bunch of extra hoops if something goes wrong.
Yea, it's total BS. I didn't buy a computer that way but I bought something else thinking it was something walmart would stand by. Had to deal with a third party. Never used the walmart online site again after that.
For WalMart returns, they accept returns at their Customer Service desk inside their brick & mortar stores. Sign up for it online, and they email a bar code for ease of returning the item. One of their "sales partners" sent a battery powered impact wrench to me. However, the included lithium battery was not the correct MAH rating as advertised, so it was returned at the Customer Service desk. Full refund received, and no postage fees were charged.
I did that with a $2000 eBike. The battery would not charge. I wished I had tried to charge the battery before assembling that beast. Anyway, like you said, "full refund..."
that's only about 100ppi. Twice the resolution (1080p) would yield about 141ppi in this size; much better. My smartphone has more pixels (720x1600) than this laptop.
@@comput3r you're selling or sold already? Unclear. Either way, not bad; a laptop with a 1024x768 pixel display actually has a nice niche use case and that's 4:3 aspect for retro gaming.
It's actually 1366x768, and I used a laptop for nearly 10 years with that resolution on a 16" screen. It's really not that bad at all. It was a glossy screen and crystal clear image. Comparing it to the PPI of a phone screen is silly because phone screens can be way higher resolution than they ever need to be, not to mention you're holding a phone much closer to your face than a laptop.
I got a refurbished HP laptop from a third-party seller on Amazon for $200 and it was as claimed (Ryzen 5 5600U, 16GB Memory, 512GB SSD, Win 11 Pro). I'm guessing Walmart doesn't monitor their third-party sellers as well as Amazon, as giving that shop the title "Pro Seller" should mean you would get quality deals and great support from that third-party dealer. Not every marketplace website is perfect, but as this shows it's better to get the items from shop with a high rating (4.0 or higher) than a mid or lower one (3.9 or less).
Thank you Toasty bros for your videos it has helped me step into the world of pc building. I have built two custom pc’s for myself. Turned a Lenovo Thinkcentre m920 into a budget gaming intel rig and also built a few friends pc. I owe a lot of that to your alls videos that I watch daily! Thank you sirs for the content it’s awesome!
Bought an Acer laptop and display failed within the warranty period. Acer claimed that I damaged it (I didn't) and would not repair it under warranty. I'll never buy another Acer product.
Because it has a dedicated video card in it for 200 bucks with a decent CPU, 16 RAM (which is pretty standard now a days) the SSD is a bit small but for the price it looks good. If for gaming it will play up to medium level newer type games or older higher end type games(higher end games from 5 years ago) with out a problem.
its called a bait and switch from outside vendors, dont ever buy from them, many times you order and they will send you a brick with no return, your blue 7500u is silver 3500u..lol but it could be a worse scam, they are relying that you are a noob, that doesnt know or doesnt look at stats.
3:45 I had a similar experience with a Dell laptop once. Turns out, rather than pressing shift and F10 simultaneously, I had to hold shift first and then press F10 separately for it to work.
It always makes me sad seeing and hearing of these things happening, because there are plenty of people out there who can't afford high-end items and have to go for the refurbished/restored not-so-old tech market. And seeing people not get what they want or get something even worse than what they paid for is always sad
Reminds me of when I bought a "certified refurbished" Dell laptop from ebay's official program and they claimed vetted sellers. The laptop was in terrible shape with a discharged battery I had to force a BIOS update to get charged.
The 3500U is disappointing . I would think that you could find an open box 5500U laptop in the same price range that would run rings around the 3500U .
I saw a consumer advocacy news report about these marketplace sellers. Walmart and Best Buy have these online retailers on their websites and most experiences are like yours. Not the product, faulty product or just way overpriced. Walmart needs to do the same as amazon and fufill these orders, that way refunds and complaints are done through Walmart. Only then, when they are on the hook, will sellers like this be taken off their site.
@@Haywood-Jablomie i don't know why Walmart still allow third-party to sell scam misinformation items. As for Amazon they don't F around and they do take action against third-party sellers if they try to sell scam misinformation items thanks to Amazon Customer Service A-to-z Guarantee claim.

All I gotta say is dealing with a unknown seller and a "laptop" for $200 US you CAN'T expect much right off the bat. For reference - I bought a "NEW" Asus pre-built PC in the 2020 Covid era off Amazon and I did get Exactly what I bought that was really decent specs. at a decent price that I could NOT build myself for the price at the time.

100%did not get the product that you ordered. I would instantly get a return or replacement screw walmart they make plenty enough money to refund or replace what you paid for
7000 series isn´t necessarily modern. 7520 is an old zen 2. Something i really hate about amd´s 7000series laptop naming scheme... it´s misleading at best. Third number is a 2, so it´s zen 2, the third is a 3 it´s a zen 3... the "new" ones have a 4 for zen 4. Fun part is you are probably better off with the 3500u as it has a vega 8 igpu (which is still better than 610m). Granted it´s only zen + and not even zen2. But in general, for 200 bucks? That is a great laptop imo, unless it was advertised as "gaming laptop". For work, studying etc this is good value, should even run some casual games pretty decent. On a sidenote, i ended up on the other side of substitute. When i ordered my strix 17 7945hx rtx 4080 laptop i ended up receiving a 7945hx3d rtx 4080. Not going to complain. I guess they ran out of 7945hx.
walmarts "marketplace" online store is a nightmare getting what you ordered from alot of those sellers is a miracle.. i have 4 that i can think of right now customers that come to me after buying "gaming" pc's from walmart online.. where it shows a tempered glass panel gtx/rtx equipped pc only to have a refurb 3740 or similar intel processored dell office pc show up .... its a constant problem and while walmart will make sure you get refunded/recoup your investment MOST of the time its not guaranteed
This is not “sold” by Walmart. Other companies sign up to be able to use Walmarts online website to sell their products and pay “rent” to Walmart. I always use the filter option and select only Walmart
I only buy new from Walmart. And I only buy items that are covered under the Walmart employee's discount. Since 3rd party sellers products are not covered under that discount, I NEVER buy them at all.
Unlike EVERY Windows product I have ever owned, I have never had a lick of trouble with either of the two Chromebooks I have. Not a single problem. No startup problems, no crashes, no virus issues. So...whatever.
i bought a laptop before from walmart for 300$ and it was shit! i returned it WITHOUT the BOX even! i just told them that the box self destructed which was mostly true lol!
I got a steamdeck from this seller. It was overpriced, and when the item didnt show up they just said it was delivered and repeated that when i replied.
Great video. I've never really seen any good laptops at Walmart but one. It was a refurbished 22013 Lenovo ThinkPad. It was lust what they said it was and worked great.
The last refurb laptop I bought fro mWally World crashed the first time I booted it and never booted right. I returned it and called it quits on buying a refurb from Walmart. It's sad when Ebay's better than Walmart.
I got a $200 HP laptop at Walmart in 2017, I sent it to my bro in El Salvador, he still uses it till this day, I got a $220 HP laptop for my son in 2020, it held pretty well with Zoom and his schoolwork in the Pandemic, but my son got smarter and last month I had to get him a $2000 gaming computer, in conclusion, this $200 laptops are only for emergency and really really really light use.
Got a rx580 from Walmart market place, I didn't realize it was coming from China, it worked long enough for me to install the official amd drivers, now the motherboard doesn't recognize any video card is even installed.
I've heard that these HP laptops have really weak hinges, so I wouldn't recommend them to anyone unless you will just keep it open on a desk all the time.
3:55 Yeah, I recently reinstalled win 11 and had this exact issue. Windows is trying to prevent people from create local admin accounts now. You have to somehow open CMD I don't exactly remember how shift f10 I think but I can't remember if you have to boot into safe mode or something special but it's pretty easy. Run a command and reboot and it just asks to create a simple good ol fashioned user and password. Microsoft is kind of buggin doing this, should never be this difficult to setup windows without Internet say you couldn't even do that you'd be screwed lol. I had no Internet connection either, as my windows installation didn't install my wifi drivers automatically anyways so this was my only option... Boohoo Microsoft.
Could go onto Ebay and buy a suspiciously cheap razer mouse- I recently fell for this scam but returns saved me. "Thundersnake computer game technology" was what was written in fine print on the box.
Ya you got short changed; if they don't give you what you ordered - that crosses into criminal in the value loss. Of course they probably would refund you or you could just go to your bank and get your money taken back; and wait for them to send you return shipping
I bought this exact same laptop about 4 years ago for $500. At the time it was a great deal and it's STLL going strong. My wife uses it for work and light gaming. Stardew Valley, Skyrim.
I mean, to be fair the Ryzen 5 3500u does have a better igpu than the 7520u so, did you get scammed? Or you got a free upgrade? It also has touchscreen. I believe I gave you a BEYOND FANTASTIC SUGGESTION, YOU'RE WELCOME Matt and Jack.
@@ToastyBros Wouldn't had made a dif and you know it, in fact the 610 is so bad it's like a Vega 3... besides, you got touchscreen included, which the other doesn't have from what I saw, free upgrade I call it :D
I think regardless when you order from a seller you should get what you’re shopping for.Especially for a laptop like this cause most people that buy laptops at this level are not very tech literate so it would be so easy to confuse them on what that actually got instead of what they originally ordered.
2 years ago my mom got a laptop from them so she could watch youtube, hers was so slow it could only play 360p content, i realized windows was too much for that cpu and installed xubuntu and it could suddenly play 1080p stuff just fine. though it's still rather limited it does everything she wants it to. btw it has a celeron.. i didn't realize those still existed.
As an owner of an "ultrabook" (a laptop with a 'U' ending cpu) i can say that to get the best performance you should use programs like throttlestop to increase the clock speeds of the cpu (i dont know if its still like this but my i5 8250u is capped at 1.6 mhz so the performance increases greately if i use an unlocking program.) P.S. also using a cooling pad is recommended to get lower temps
My wife has one of those 15" HP touchscreen laptops with a 3rd gen Ryzen in it. It's fine for e-mail and web browsing, but PC gaming isn't going to happen.
Please leave a 1-star review for them. Need to keep alerting other possible buyers about their scamming tactics.
I won't, it is actually a better processor
@@MultiDivebomber why are you lying lol
"Hey your laptop is a scam!"
Seller: "We do upgrade to a bigger HDD💀💀💀💀"
And my Boy Zhang also added a touch screen... That's a pretty good deal!
Actually we'll just rewrite the firmware, so it appears bigger
Bigger hard drive doesn't mean better laptop
"It's kinda hard to find a home page for these Walmart sellers."
I wonder why...
Also for the A->Z sellers too.
Keep in mind that "Pro Seller" means that they sell enough items per month to reach that mark. That's it.
this is why I DO NOT like vendors... Amazon, Walmart etc NEED to have an option for NON VENDOR.

Your first response from their customer service sounds like an AI bot to me. I suspect no real human has even seen your complaint.
They are assuming if you are ordering laptop’s from Walmart that you might not know the difference.
Unfortunately, many people don't know the difference between some computers. So it is easy to sell junk.

Did you miss the section where we can buy these laptops with 32gb of ram and more strange for less than we paid? Common now
I think regardless when you order from a seller you should get what you’re shopping for.Especially for a laptop like this cause most people that buy laptops at this level are not very tech literate so it would be so easy to confuse them on what that actually got instead of what they originally ordered.
And... the seller changes the name again.
I avoid 3rd party sellers on Amazon and Walmart. They are a plague.
What kinda chip you got in there? A Dorito?
2 years ago my mom got a laptop from them so she could watch youtube, hers was so slow it could only play 360p content, i realized windows was too much for that cpu and installed xubuntu and it could suddenly play 1080p stuff just fine. though it's still rather limited it does everything she wants it to. btw it has a celeron.. i didn't realize those still existed.
I was totally looking forward to the blue as well good choice guys 😊❤
I bought the "ACER PREDATOR TRITON 300, w/NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070 8G"
You cannot bypass win11 activation for a year or more. What do you mean “every device”?
I bought a gaming pc from Walmart and they gave me another PC. Had to reinstall windows since I was locked out
Use rufus for Windows install. Let's you bypass sign-in. Great video guys. Thank you
If you have ever worked in computer repair Chromebooks do not suck. Most users can't manage a windows machine.

You left the bar code at the bottom of the order and that has literally all the info you blacked out in it
I have better luck with refurbished laptops on amazon.
As an owner of an "ultrabook" (a laptop with a 'U' ending cpu) i can say that to get the best performance you should use programs like throttlestop to increase the clock speeds of the cpu (i dont know if its still like this but my i5 8250u is capped at 1.6 mhz so the performance increases greately if i use an unlocking program.)
P.S. also using a cooling pad is recommended to get lower temps
1.6 mhz plz tell me you meant ghz otherwise how do you even boot up
Didn't microsoft remove the ablity to pull up CMD and bypass the sign in on newer installers?
they did, but you can still invoke cmd with a keyboard shortcut and set an oobe command
I prefer to buy from a brick-and-mortar store, that way if I have to exchange/return or complain I can deal with a Human.
My wife has one of those 15" HP touchscreen laptops with a 3rd gen Ryzen in it. It's fine for e-mail and web browsing, but PC gaming isn't going to happen.
