Returning Second, Third, Forth one
2016.04.01 Maybe I'm the April fool to keep trying but number four: About 8:30 p.m. last night I unboxed number four. I went through the set up questions and the little blue circle began to spin. 7:55 am this morning it is still spinning. Fail number four.
Really wanted/still want this to be as good as advertised but it has been horrible.
Returning my 3rd one
1st - Slightly tilted touch pad was not ok on a $2,600 item. Unstable - locking up, blue screening, up to 8 minutes to boot. Contacted Microsoft who said to wipe it and restart. Didn't change. Returned it.
2nd - Worse. Blue screen, dock can't handle external drive and monitors at same time, flicker, lines, freeze, reboot, freeze, unplug everyting and restart, goes to sleep and forgets configuration. Returned.
3rd – Could not even get through set up. Pushed start and it went straight to guest login. Used restart. This time it went into new setup. I answered the questions, hit next and got a spinning cursor for 1.5 hours then it froze. Tried three more times. Returning it.
These come with Windows 10 which seems so intrusive it amazes me but if they actually worked long enough to try for a while I may be able to get used to that. Seems Microsoft wants to collect all the information about me. Hopefully they collect some information on the fact that the three computers I bought from them don't work. While I am not a computer expert I do own my own company and have set up several dozen PCs. I have not had a bum string of computers like this since Dell was having major issues quite a while back. Hopefully Microsoft corrects these issues but judging from some of the reviews posted quite a while back it seems they are continuing to sell these with dysfunctional software.
