Best Buy Removed Half The RAM From A Gaming Laptop Because It Said The Laptop Only Supports 32GB

A customer sent a Lenovo Legion 5 in for warranty service with 64GB of RAM.

The Best Buy repair report confirmed the laptop had two 32GB RAM sticks, but the technician said the laptop “only accepts 32GB RAM maximum.”

The removed RAM was sent back to the customer with the laptop.

    this type of bullshit is common across the repair industry

    No it isn’t. Most independent repair shops actually know what they’re doing and care about customer satisfaction.

    This only happens at “corporate” repair places, just like BestBuy.
