I have no receipt of purchase so an Apple Appointment is not an option.

What's the best upgrade from a samsung s23 fe?

0 Upvotes

I'd love some genuine advice on what my best Samsung upgrade will be, I generally want to stay using Samsung and terms like plus and ultra just have me wondering what is actually worth it. I'm really big on camera and battery life and not sure I'll use a pen at all other than taking pics from afar.

It was my Dad’s. I may or may not have lost it. I want to find the exact model to replace it. It does not have a C-port charger, it is touchscreen, the keyboard can light up, be dimmed, or completely off. Badges are on the bottom right. Thanks in advance. 🙏

J'ai allumé le pixelbook et j'ai trouvé ça. Que s'est-il passé ? Ça fonctionnait parfaitement, puis l'écran s'est brouillé, il s'est éteint, et voilà. Est-ce que je me suis fait pirater ? Un virus ?

How does a single part cost more than the whole laptop ?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

For context I went to Best Buy to have them repair a laptop I’ve had for only a year. They were pretty sure it was a battery problem along with a screen issue. They sent it to the factory and told me they would call me when they figured out what it would cost to repair it. A week went by before they called saying. “ your laptop was sent back to the store due to the part they would need to replace costing more then the whole laptop “

So not only do a still have a broken laptop; I was basically told it would be cheaper to buy a new one. Does this make sense or are they trying to just sell me another laptop ?
