I bought my laptop which was on sale for only 34,000 pesos (roughly $700). It was cheaper than the $1,000 original cost because it was on sale after staying 1 year in the market. The laptop was promised to have Windows 10 installed but what I got was Windows 7 only. The vendor who is known to my wife said that the hardware has issues with Windows 10.
Okay, no problem. After more than a year of using the laptop it wouldn’t boot one day. I brought it to a technician who suspected the motherboard is the problem. After undergoing the checking of 3 more technicians the verdict is passed that the laptop is dead. The motherboard can be replaced for $600. It is like buying a new one. The vendor flatly said that they cannot replace the unit because it was passed the warranty period. I felt like I was scammed. By the way, the laptop is a world renowned brand.
