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.
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.
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!
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.
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. I have since upgraded things here and there and am still using said PC today! You guys had mentioned that this "laptop" seemed" USED and had NO original packaging. Mine came in a Asus taped box with E-Waste keyboard and mouse which of course threw away and everything was name-brand quality components inside from RAM to SSD drives with genuine CPU/GPU stuff.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 .
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
@@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. I like Amazon policy and customers is always right.
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.
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'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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad T440 off a seller on Walmart a year and a half ago. (refurb) What I received was a T-520 Well, it was black. It was an i5 -2540M intel which was the highest i5 available then I believe, and it had a legit install of Win 10 pro and the power supply. It did come with the optional high res (1600x900) display and the Nvidia graphics. (It does have the swappable CPU and I bought a compatible i7 but just have it stored if I ever need it since it works fine for web browsing and movies. and the i7 that will fit the socket is not much faster.) Plus swappable optical/SSD bay and it came with a 1T ssd! I think it was $125. No it wasn't what I ordered but it was accidentally better just pulled off their shelf of Thinkpad stock most likely. I don't remember the sellers name. Wrong Laptop but I'm happy with it.
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 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.
Chromebooks have come a long way in the past five years. They are great for what they are, very portable, and for most operations, 4 gb of ram is sufficient. As for buying a used laptop, I wouldn't buy any used computer. Blow an extra hundred and get a brand new Chromebook. And Walmart sends low end electronics, even the brand new stuff.
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
this is why I DO NOT like vendors... Amazon, Walmart etc NEED to have an option for NON VENDOR.
"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.

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.

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.
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.
💀This is the SAME exact laptop that i'm using currently, except without touchscreen.
If u play roblox does it run it good?
3500U, ugh! My HP 15s has a 5700U.
Can you please check out hp victus with r5 8645hs and rtx 4050 from wallmart, It was priced at 599$. I was curious about it.
If I hear that phrase "What the sigma" in the comments one more time, I'm outta here!
The Ryzen 5 7520U is not actually modern at all. It's based on the Zen 2 architecture. Definitely shady passing off old as new.
This looks like a jelly screen laptop!
When you type on the keyboard, the screen wobbles like jelly! Hate it!
I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad T440 off a seller on Walmart a year and a half ago. (refurb) What I received was a T-520 Well, it was black. It was an i5 -2540M intel which was the highest i5 available then I believe, and it had a legit install of Win 10 pro and the power supply. It did come with the optional high res (1600x900) display and the Nvidia graphics. (It does have the swappable CPU and I bought a compatible i7 but just have it stored if I ever need it since it works fine for web browsing and movies. and the i7 that will fit the socket is not much faster.) Plus swappable optical/SSD bay and it came with a 1T ssd! I think it was $125. No it wasn't what I ordered but it was accidentally better just pulled off their shelf of Thinkpad stock most likely. I don't remember the sellers name. Wrong Laptop but I'm happy with it.
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 bet the "SN recorded" part of their name is also a fabrication.
I have better luck with refurbished laptops on amazon.
7320U is a scam from amd tho rebadging a zen2 cpu as ryzen 7000
Is it possible to trick out a consumer laptop to a top notch gaming laptop? I smell a challenge…?
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.
agree the 610m sucks equaly as the vega 8.
igpu sure, but cpu wise esports games would perform way better
@@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
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.
Chromebooks have come a long way in the past five years. They are great for what they are, very portable, and for most operations, 4 gb of ram is sufficient. As for buying a used laptop, I wouldn't buy any used computer. Blow an extra hundred and get a brand new Chromebook. And Walmart sends low end electronics, even the brand new stuff.
this isn't a "Walmart laptop" its a reseller through Walmart, might as well been eBay same thing
The amd 610m sucks equaly as the vega 8. You guys can expect what more 2 maybe 5 fps diference?
Pro Seller = We pay Wal-Mart to promote us. That is my guess.
Walmart "will look into it" one would think they would monitor seller reviews! But in my case, Walmart, not seller made it right.
