I realize the laptop was already discounted quite a bit, though I find it more than fair to ask for a partial refund for my purchase.
Personally I'd love to return the thing and get my full money back since I feel I've been rightly ripped off, but due to being mislead I'm stuck in a sticky situation: I've become reliant on having this machine available to me because despite it's flaws, it does run faster than my current one and I need the extra speed more than anything.
With that said I hardly think it is worth the asking price considering that it doesn't even have a fully working keyboard! On-board speakers, USB, and even battery life are one thing to forego, but a non-fully-functioning keyboard sort dismisses any potential for using the machine to write articles and/or program: the two purposes I purchased it for, both which were clearly stated to Effel in PM's at the time of purchase.
I'm keen to hear if the forum agrees or not that a partial refund is in order here. Am I out of line to ask for that? I don't think so, but maybe others here have a wise take on the matter.
Thanks for your support... hopefully he'll respond one of these days!
