This is a laptop, not a bomb. The damaged part is probably just plastic and should not cause any functional issues.

Yeah, that’s a bit of an overreaction. lol

It’s shocking how some people can’t detect sarcasm.

Yes, it might as well be a bomb. Turning it on could potentially cause a massive explosion, wiping out your entire bloodline.

How were we supposed to know it was sarcasm if he didn’t say it was?

Didn’t you look at the photos before ordering?

That’s the whole issue. The photos were checked but turned out to be highly misleading.

Sometimes they send you a brick in the box. Why bother posting fake photos when they can just send you a brick? Do you think a scammer would post accurate photos? Think again.

Agreed. They could have at least mentioned it was damaged but repairable.
