I disagree. Viewing angles are extremely important to me. I use it as a side monitor, etc.,
The thing is that it is so obvious he should not have bought it in the first place (as the devices he already uses unequivocally indicate he's not part of the target audience) that many wonder here what is the purpose of starting a thread about it, apart from getting replies that wonder about the purpose. This is not going to help those who already know the neo is not for them, and not going to help either those genuinely belonging to the target audience, who may end up here being worried about the viewing angles of a screen they'll never look at from such extreme angles.
I agree. I see the rationale of disliking an electronics product and returning it. But it seems it's gotten out of hand (at least in the U.S.) in constantly trying and returning something just to check it out. It seems so wasteful. And it likely increases costs for the manufacturer and ultimately us.
It's extreme selfishness but that's the society we live in (at least in the US). And yes, it's ultimately detrimental to society.
Respect for not mentioning it only having 8GB RAM.
But at least in the Neos defense it isn’t trying to be anything other than a budget Laptop, where as in my “opinion” the Air was priced too high for what it is.
Hey I have a the aforementioned refurbed Lenovo Legion gaming laptop and being refurbished saved me a ton of money, so I am glad for these people. 😀 Have done the same with my M1 iPad Pro 12.9". In addition, I buy a lot of used stuff off Swappa--including my Surface Pro 9 which I got years ago (like when it was a few months old) for $600. So am glad people are wasteful, selfishly anyway.
Yeah, from that point of view it does work out, though somewhat selfishly. But understandable!
If you want the absolute best viewing angles you have to get OLED. I was viewing a LG C5 OLED the other day in Costco and it was next to a mini LED TCL and the viewing angle differences were night and day. In this case I would pay extra for that viewing angle on the LG. I've never in my life seen a TV with that good of viewing angles.
It is all assumed in price. Off centre is horrible, but it manages to get 3 people in the center.
Agree about viewing angles. My wife likes often watches our TV at an angle while sitting on the favorite chair. While the viewing angle may not be important to some of us, it is extremely important to most people. I can understand that if only one person is looking at a photo or drawing displayed in a small screen angle should not be a problem, but if he or she is showing the same photo to a person it becomes more difficult for both of them to look at the photo unless the display can be slightly moved back and forth.
Next time, if you want to visually differentiate your update from the initial post, PLEASE use italic writing or thicken the title or word Update instead of using full caps for an entire paragraph.
That would be a very worthwhile thread to read, if people figure this out. Especially if we could eventually make a good guess based on serial number at the store which one we might end up getting.
You did nothing wrong. You did the right thing. Tim Cook is a deceitful man who has made it his mission to cut corners on products in order to maximize profits, so your reasoning and actions, based on a healthy level of skepticism, were rational.
It's a good time to remind people to always check return policies before buying. Some retailers have a 15 day return window, and some have a restocking fee for non-defective returns*.
