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.

    Just take a screwdriver to the Library. They always have electronic book search computers set up in dark corners these days.

    It might not be sticks of 64GB DDR5, sure, but that doesn't mean you can't type those letters into your Ebay listing.
