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.

    I was BestBuy services when they bought Geek Squad circa 2004. We went from “keep the customers happy by actually solving their problem so they come back and buy more” to “you’re all salespeople so charge every customer $60 just to set the computer down on the counter and push magazine subscriptions”

    They must’ve gone back and forth a couple of times since then.
