An actual Wish deal?

So I was scrolling through Wish 'cause I was bored when I stumbled across an interesting ad. If only I had the budget to inspect the offer in person, but it seems somewhat reasonable all things considered. Yes it is cheaper than you'd expect, but I'd like to think there's still something decent behind the offer. The link to the item is https://www.wish.com/product/5b93636cb973aa364ad14c99 and it includes a 15.6" 'FHD' display, an i7-7700HQ, a 1060 6gb, 8gb of memory and two storage devices; a 256gb SSD alongside a 1tb hard drive. Oh and it has RGB backlight for the keyboard ;) Thought it might make for an interesting video and if not then maybe someone here would just find it an amusing read :)

Items you see on Wish usually/often end up being a scam.
It's also sold by "utilidadesparaforretas", which only has 3 reviews and sell anything from lifesized silicone sex doll to computers... I mean, really? Do you really trust that? I personally wouldn't trust what is essentially a sex shop with a computer.

Just get a dell e6500 and install win xp 

 

cheaper, more retro A E S T H E T I C, you can enjoy your favorite titles ( commander keen, serious sam, flash games, doom , doom 2, doom 3, sim city 2000, battlefield 1942 you name it.

 

Or you could go with a compaq armada running win 98 for extra A E S T H E T I C

My current code projects

--------------------------------

  • C#/OpenGL ( using OpenTK graphics library API ) KnightsRealm ( unfinished, WIP plan on releasing on steam maybe a mobile port idk ) 2d topdown pixel art based game with medieval themes, sorcery, dragons, open world

Current repair projects

------------------------------

  • My dreadful receiver ( a capacitor blew ) 
  • working on a PC from a client, CPU died within the system, seems like a short, replaced CPU and awaiting payment before I ship it back 
  • my old 1tb sas drive for my NAS, some blemishes or something on the PCB need to clear that back out, if it doesn't work i'll need to scrap it ( already backed up all my stuff thankfully )

    If you want any software made, or stuff to be repaired give me an email!

Ever wondered where they get that "normal" price? Its twice as much as local retailers pricing for laptop with similar specs new. And then "sale" price is something you would pay for much lower spec used. And why they even bother putting that normal price in there, if the thing isn't actually on sale.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^

seems legit. no seriously tho, I know that a lot of time with these items you dont get exactly what they list but yoll get a worse version of it. So if you get luky you might get like a 660m which for $500, honestly isnt a bad price when paired with everything else, but you can probably find one made bade and with better aesthtics from ebay, and plus youll be supporting an honest seller.

Never heard of Wish. Also I don't like it when I have to sign up to view details about a product.

Rest In Peace my old signature...                  September 11th 2018 ~ December 26th 2018

yeah the site is 90% scam, don't waste your time with it

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.
