I wanted a high-spec machine for music
I ordered an Optimus 17 inch with 24GB, striped raid array, SSD
Since I had heard about the fan noise issues, I asked before I bought, and was told that all new ones have a BIOS fix
the PC arrived, and the fan alternates between completely off, and sounding like a full speed hairdryer. I would never be able to do anything with this crazy noise
I called as soon as the phone lines opened the day after it arrived, they said they'd send out the BIOS update on a pendrive
I spent 2 days installing my personal software (music stuff with sample libraries takes so long)
1 week later they called and said the BIOS update is no longer approved, and I could either return it for a refund or tolerate it, I chose to return it.
The RMA came through, and it was collected yesterday.
Then an email came through today, saying:
"Please be aware that there will be a £36 processing fee that will be applied and any software that has been activated will not be refunded either."
This is outrageous, hopefully this will be corrected tomorrow with an apology
