    "They are selling TOYS!!!"

    by LarryHK on September 23, 2005

    Pros: Looks good, light, I/O are good

    Cons: Bad service, very slow

    Summary: AVERATAC Laptop AV4265-EH1, It looks beautiful but with terrible service that dive me crazy.

    I brought this laptop at Staples this July 4th (what an honest day!) and it cracked down after 18 days. Since more than 14 days, Staples won?t replace a new one and asked me sent the problem laptop to CA, the AVERATAC repair workshop. AVERATAC gave me the RMA#, I tried 100 times to check my RMA# on AVERATAC web side, but it said the # is not in the system! And no one could tell me what happen when I call their service, no one answer my e-mail questions!

    Finally, they sent my laptop back and tell me when I call, that they replace with new motherboard for it.

    But there are at lease 3 problem come back with it. First, the system runs very slow; second, there is one white dot on my screen; the third, my DVD/CD ROM can?t open and comes out 2 mm which can?t close fully; I can?t see the diver from the system device manager window! (I have photos to show)

    This is a new machine, it only been used 4 or 5 times in 18 days, if I am bad luck to pick one with the problem motherboard, AVERATAC should just replace another new laptop to me, and sent the bad one back to the factory. I don?t know why AVERATAC wasting the money (replace motherboard) and the time (for my waiting) and drive the customer crazy (bring more problems after fix one).

    I spend $1150 to buy this laptop and still can?t use it for 4 months; does any one want to be the next like me???

    Don?t trust any company they don?t care the customers!
    Don?t buy any product that keeps driving you crazy!

    9/21/2005, I call AVERATEC to tell the problem on my laptop, they gave me new RMA and said will call me back.

    9/22/2005, I call AVERATEC; they say some one will call me to answer my complaint within 24 hours.

    9/23, 24/2005, there were no call from AVERATEC.

    9/26/2005, No one call me. I call AVERATEC, the girl promise that FedEx will pick up my Laptop for CA tomorrow, and will call me when coming.

    9/27/2005, FedEx does not show up and no one call me. I call AVERATEC, they say tomorrow will come.

    The first sentence in AVERATEC web side, service support is:
    ?Averatec is dedicated to enhancing customer satisfaction in every way that we can.?
