...I broke my own advice, and bought something from egay.

I purposely picked one that was in the UK, as sick to the back teeth of any dealing with Chinese sellers/companies. Not in anyway racist, as I really do like black bean sauce

Needless to say, as soon as I got the Paypal email, I'd paid someone who's name was spelt in hieroglyphics, so I knew I was oppsed.

Obviously, the tat that turned up was wrong, and all I can get now is no-speaky-inglesh.

*sigh*



Which also reminds me, I need to chase something I ordered from Chinky outfit Banggood (yes, I know it sounds like a porn shop). Its already got stuck in Chinese customs once. Grrr.

Oh dear, Etards strike again 




Couldn't happen to a nicer fella

And while I'm on a Made in China rant, what fikwit at crApple came up with the bloody stupid, unreliable keyboard on this laptop, with each key having about 1mm travel, and having a near American stupid layout.

It takes twice as long to type anything, and for what gain, just so it looks gay

Get in the bath and have a cup'o'tea, lad. Aye.

Not Apple's fault you have fat fingers?

That may well be the route cause.....although I am sure he may also struggle with my Ultrabook (all be it whilst still having a wad of cash in his pocket)

Presumably a management inspired acquisition

I could put up with a lot for a wad of cash.

Not what you're thinking.

Well if this is crApple versus proper laptops, in the spirit of fairness, my other works laptop is also Chinky...  ...a Lenovo T440 Ultrabook.  Now, whatever mongrel thought that new take on a touchpad was a good idea needs to be castrated before being allowed to breed.

But at least its possible to type accurately on it, and the keyboard isn't noisy, and the buttons are in the right place.


Obviously, I don't pay for any, but if I was told I had to give one of them up, you can bet your arse it would be the £2,600 crApple that would go before the £800 Lenovo.  The Lenovo is lighter, is capable of connecting to wired networks without external dongle, has USB, is a damn sight lighter, and has a usable keyboard.  If only Lenovo would use a traditional touchpad...

Egat dispute raised a few days ago, strangely enough, just before it can be escalated to egay for their decision, all of a sudden the chinky seller can speak English.

I FIKCING HATE EGAY

I FIKCING HATE EGAY

I buy a lot of stuff of Egay including from Hong Kong and China, but touch wood, to-date I've only had problems on two occasions which were quickly resolved. Much prefer it for most cheap things to Amazon as they are generally cheaper and without the extra £2.80 p&p cost. Three rules I use, plenty of sales and feedback, above 99.8% positive feedback or I go elsewhere and if it is much cheaper than everybody else (too good to be true) I will avoid.

Likewise - never had a problem with eBay sellers (eBay buyers, on the other hand, appear to be universal morons.. present company excepted, I'm sure ).

I blame user error, personally.
