minus-squarecircuscritic@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up15·edit-27 months agolol. Just search for Purism customer support experiences. I’m honestly amazed there hasn’t been a fraud, or some other consumer protection type criminal investigation. All that baggage, and their hardware is also laughably outdated and overpriced. Which is unfortunate, because the concept is amazing and clearly there’s a sizable market for it. Here is an example of just ONE flavor of Purism customer experiences: Announce current gen hardware and current pricing. Customer pays Customer receives hardware 5 years later, after being told approx. 362 times that cancellation refunds are down, or unable to be processed. Customer tries to immediately return the 5 year old laptop that was just delivered and is told “No Returns” There are other variations that you can read about on various forums.
lol.
