Should I be concerned about buying a laptop from QVC?

Many of the laptops have a lot of bad reviews. I don't know if that is typical that stuff just happens with laptops?  Or if there is something inferior about the machines that QVC sells.

I can only say that I wouldn't buy one. Buy local.

The electronics that QVC sells (laptops and everything else) are either one of two things: outdated/old mdse, or overpriced. If you buy the outdated tech, you get aging machines right out of the box. You may find some new, up-to-date products but they will nearly always be hundreds of $$ more than they would cost you elsewhere.

Re: Should I be concerned about buying a laptop from QVC?

@GracieKirby I bought a laptop a couple months ago for my son that was a TSV. It was a disaster.It kept freezing & was slower than the one he had that was 7 years old.I returned it as defective.

  I ended up buying him one in Costco.It was $300 cheaper.My son loves it.It also came with a 4 year warranty!!

Oh, Costco also gives you 90 days to return electronics.

I can only say that every single laptop I ever bought for myself or for my girls or for my niece has come from QVC and we have had no complaints at all.

I usually go to best buy but think they have a 30 return not sure, I am a member of costco & they do have 90 days maybe I should go there. Just like to go to look at the electronic have someone answer my questions & they are close by. The shopping channels have electronics all the time & explain but I want to see it. I do shop QVC for other things but electronics is something I am afraid to do.

Re: Should I be concerned about buying a laptop from QVC?

I would not buy electronics from QVC. Yesterday’s technology today and overpriced throw in that no one needs or wants. Buy from Costco or Best Buy or if you can wait sometimes there are some good specials on Black Friday but only if I can get it online and not have to stand in line at midnight.
