@reclaimercube Have I mentioned I got a fuko with a six pack of surprisingly nice sonic toothbrushes?
Still no pallet of Martian watches though. ( Meh, I’m going to post this every time I remember until you grant my dream of wallowing in a kiddie pool of Martian watches by sending me a pallet of watches. And a kiddie pool.)
@akparker777 many will come along and say go to morningsave. Many will come along and say “check out woot!” Try Walmart! I’m sure slickdeals will help you. Ride or die, it’s all meh compared to meh.
@Mdcumming you speak the truth, i went to the full specs waiting for some reason to buy this thing and was dumbfounded by the abysmal components used. You could get as much or more power for less out of a shitty chromebook and have the benefit of more battery life and better portability.
@Mdcumming
Seriously. I bought a new laptop for Mom four years ago with a better screen, double the RAM, do not remember the processor for the same $300.
And I was not even looking for a deal. Just walked in the store and bought it so she would be able to entertain herself while recovering from surgery.
@Mdcumming@williamsh461
Most Chromebooks don’t have touchscreens or Windows 10; but the fact that it is refurbished should bring the price lower than it is.
@Tiamat114 What Acer do you have that has lasted nine years?
I’ve had my Dell Latitude almost ten years, and I bought it as a refurb. I had one Acer before that, and the build quality was garbage, so I wrote them off. Maybe I should look again.
@Limewater It was some kind of special on Newegg when I still shopped there, Aspire Model. Here’s the little sticker on it. Granted, I did have to have the backlight replaced last year cause it burnt out, but little gal chugs along just fine esp. for streaming.
@Tiamat114 I’m still using a 10+ year old HP Pavilion that has given me zero trouble in all that time; it’s on it’s 4th battery and second power supply though.
Back in the day, Bea Arthur was the bees knees. She starred as a character named Maude in little shows like “All in the Family” and “Maude.” She showed America that women too could wear onions on their belts (as was the fashion of the day)
meh, should be half the price - nearly THREE years ago, I bought my daughters brand new touchscreen Toshiba Satellite laptops from Best Buy for $329 ea ($30 more) w/ i3 processor and 6gb RAM with free McAfee antivirus and 1 yr warranty…
@arfdawg@FlyBoy422@the_inevitable
No way that thing can run Vista. Windows 10 is designed to be compatible with even high-end and mid-range mobile devices. Vista was slow on almost any device.
Way overpriced. Just delivered a refurbed HP 14" i5 with 8G RAM and 180G SSD to a customer last night that was $195. The only thing this has going for it is a 15" screen, but other than that, this is a horrible price. Hell, even WITH that, it’s a horrible price. Even $100 less would be horrible.
@medz Hey, my SSD suits me and my wife just fine, pal!!! And stop looking over the bathroom stall wall while I compute… perv!
The computer that I am referring to was a refurb, just like the one I am decrying here as being a poor value, even for Meh standards. There was no option for larger drives or different screens.
Neither of these offerings are going to be powerhouses, I was trying to make the point that I felt that for under $200 I got a much more capable machine than the thing they are trying to foist here for $300.
@tnhillbillygal Woohoo!! You must be far East TN. I chose Knoxville because everybody knows where that is. How about Mountain City? Most eastern town and about 30 miles from me. We might be neighbors !!!
@tnhillbillygal Carter County now but grew up on Doe Creek. Lawsy, we may end up being related . Three Johnson County gals, at least two of us must be kin.
Be careful with refurbishments as the original manufacturer does not honor warranties (as I learned with the refurb Winix air purifier I bought from Meh). On that sale, Meh indicated that Winix honored the warranty (much like the claim here).
Meh, did you skip the part of your write-up that explains that, hidden inside of five randomly-selected laptops, there is a golden ticket to Intel Wonka’s Chip Factory?
Bought this brand new, except with 8mb RAM, for my daughter in June. It’s Sept and it is out of return period. It takes 15 minutes to boot, then lags even using Office. HP wants to charge for anything except walking me through recovery, which I can do on my own. It scanned clean, it’s just a piece of garbage. Don’t waste your money
@DVDBZN All BS removed, using standard Windows Defender, same processor. It wasn’t fast from the get go. Removing all the crap HP loads onto their products helped a small bit, but not enough to make a difference. Her old laptop (5 years old and also a HP) with 1/2 the memory and a slower AMD processor works better and faster. I personally think it’s just this model.
$360 is within throwing distance of a much better and brand new computer. Something around $250 would have been more appropriate and I probably would have bought one to have as a backup laptop.

Meh I have anxiously been awaiting for you to post a toothbrush for sale again. I will post this everyday until you finally sell another one again.
@reclaimercube Hey, look. I found some on this other site we run: https://morningsave.com/market?q=toothbrush
@shawn no shawn… It has to be on meh… People have tried to tell me about morningsave before… I need it on meh.com…
@reclaimercube I will post the MorningSave link everyday until you finally buy a toothbrush.
@reclaimercube did you remember to click the meh button?
@Kidsandliz @reclaimercube
I did! That made meh day!
@reclaimercube Have I mentioned I got a fuko with a six pack of surprisingly nice sonic toothbrushes?
Still no pallet of Martian watches though. ( Meh, I’m going to post this every time I remember until you grant my dream of wallowing in a kiddie pool of Martian watches by sending me a pallet of watches. And a kiddie pool.)
@brainmist at this point you might have convinced me to get a martian too lol
@reclaimercube Day 4 of our toothbrush campaign. The road before us may be long, but we must push through.
@akparker777 many will come along and say go to morningsave. Many will come along and say “check out woot!” Try Walmart! I’m sure slickdeals will help you. Ride or die, it’s all meh compared to meh.
@reclaimercube You guys do know there are different versions of Windows 10? Which one is this?
@reclaimercube they do not understand our values. There is only one option and I will not be persuaded otherwise.
@akparker777 our heart is with meh. They will deliver. They aren’t just average around here, they’re meh.
@arkoplan @reclaimercube This is the toothbrush version.
Obviously Meh, like Weird Al, is all about the Pentiums.
@nolrak Weird Al is the GOAT therefore I like you automatically
Worst deal and product you’ve ever offered. 2013 called and they want their laptop back. You can get way better at this price.
@Mdcumming you speak the truth, i went to the full specs waiting for some reason to buy this thing and was dumbfounded by the abysmal components used. You could get as much or more power for less out of a shitty chromebook and have the benefit of more battery life and better portability.

$300 only a 30 day warranty… No way!
@kcface 90 Day HP Warranty, so you can buy one now.
No understand write-up.
/giphy confused
@stinks Read again. Still confused.
/giphy still confused
I’ll buy this when you pry my soon to be 9 year old acer laptop from my cold dead hands.
@Tiamat114 What Acer do you have that has lasted nine years?
I’ve had my Dell Latitude almost ten years, and I bought it as a refurb. I had one Acer before that, and the build quality was garbage, so I wrote them off. Maybe I should look again.

Sticker.
@Tiamat114 I’m still using a 10+ year old HP Pavilion that has given me zero trouble in all that time; it’s on it’s 4th battery and second power supply though.
ultimate meh
Pentium? What is this, 2008? Dig up a laptop in your local dumpster or goodwill and it’s probably faster
@luckofthedraw It’s not that old.
https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/pentium_(2009)/n3710
But still…meh.
30 day warranty? The refurbishers sure are
notconfident about these.@narfcake Fixed, it is a 90 Day HP Warranty.
Has there ever been a zero sales day? May happen today! Meh has become a flea market.
@Hittman What you got against fleas?
@Hittman Fleas could probably render a web page faster than this laptop could
Is this for all the parents who procrastinated on getting their kid a computer before school started?
4 gigs of ram? This is bad in every way!
Is there an accessory that can add a USB-C port to this?
@JT954 There’s plenty of USB 2.0 to USB-C adapters on amazon for a couple bucks.
Some weird Reality distortion going on with woot! and Meh selling the same item at the same time.
https://computers.woot.com/offers/hp-15-6-intel-quad-core-1tb-touch-laptops-42
Atleast meh comes in $10 cheaper, but 60 days less warranty.
@Nyc_Tattoo We fixed that. Now it’s the same 90 Days AND it’s still $10 cheaper.
@FlyBoy422 @Nyc_Tattoo Cool, now I’ll buy it! Just kidding…
Pentium cpu? Be prepared for very slow. 4gb RAM and 720p screen are also below what I consider acceptable.
OH MY GOD THEY COMPUTED GLEN!!!
@shahnm you monster
Nope.
4 gigs of RAM? Is it still running XP?
Is this an eighth generation pentium that it is marked up pretty high?
I love you, Meh, but I wouldn’t buy this with Bea Arthur’s…um…credit card.
@wishlish …and then there’s Maude…
ditto…
@wishlish
I don’t get the reference…
@jst1ofknd And you won’t, youngster.
Back in the day, Bea Arthur was the bees knees. She starred as a character named Maude in little shows like “All in the Family” and “Maude.” She showed America that women too could wear onions on their belts (as was the fashion of the day)

@wishlish 7:15-7:48 is the joke, and you could have saved anyone reading your comment 7:15 by posting the start time.
@excarnate Welp.
meh, should be half the price - nearly THREE years ago, I bought my daughters brand new touchscreen Toshiba Satellite laptops from Best Buy for $329 ea ($30 more) w/ i3 processor and 6gb RAM with free McAfee antivirus and 1 yr warranty…
@RICHY531
Don’t activate the McAfee Antivirus. You will have wish it never came with the device.
@DVDBZN @RICHY531 Amen to that, uninstall it immediately
@RICHY531 The MEHmbers speak true words.
I have few lying around. How many you want for $289? ($10 cheaper)…
I guess you you let the flashlights go to your head…shame.
Maybe it will run OS X Leopard.
@hchavers I imagine it could, it’s basically an ancient mac mini with a screen and trackpad
Two hours in, six sold.
@zippyus What!? Fools! My wireless mouse has more memory and CPU power than this!
@nenik
/image entire computer inside a mouse
@zippyus four hours in, still six sold
Odd that you dont say what the OS is.
@arfdawg vista
@arfdawg @the_inevitable It says Win10 in the description
@FlyBoy422 Have you done an AMA yet FlyBoy? Who the heck are you?
@FlyBoy422 @the_inevitable Give up the early morning weed. It doesn’t say a thing about the OS.
@arfdawg @FlyBoy422 @the_inevitable
Bruh… “you got your terabyte hard drive, and 4GBs of SDRAM, you got Windows 10”

@arfdawg @FlyBoy422 no way that thing can run windows 10. it’s gotta be vista. come on meh, get it together.
@arfdawg @FlyBoy422 @the_inevitable
No way that thing can run Vista. Windows 10 is designed to be compatible with even high-end and mid-range mobile devices. Vista was slow on almost any device.
@arfdawg @DVDBZN @FlyBoy422 it’s got a PENTIUM. obviously Vista will be screaming fast on it.
Model: 2MW37UA, which kinda sounds like a very elaborate acronym for a Craigslist Personals ad, doesn’t it?
@DavidChurchRN Well, I will have to take your word for that.
Way overpriced. Just delivered a refurbed HP 14" i5 with 8G RAM and 180G SSD to a customer last night that was $195. The only thing this has going for it is a 15" screen, but other than that, this is a horrible price. Hell, even WITH that, it’s a horrible price. Even $100 less would be horrible.
Meh, you get points for not even trying today.
@Jonas4321
Touchscreens and Windows 10 are expensive. Just those two can add over $150 to a device without them.
@DVDBZN Mine had W10. A lot faster and more modern CPU. Double the RAM. And an SSD. It’s not even close - this thing is way overpriced.
@Jonas4321 Your tiny SSD is tiny. How much for the 1TB touchscreen version?
@medz Hey, my SSD suits me and my wife just fine, pal!!! And stop looking over the bathroom stall wall while I compute… perv!
The computer that I am referring to was a refurb, just like the one I am decrying here as being a poor value, even for Meh standards. There was no option for larger drives or different screens.
Neither of these offerings are going to be powerhouses, I was trying to make the point that I felt that for under $200 I got a much more capable machine than the thing they are trying to foist here for $300.
This laptop wouldn’t have the power to look this up…
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/screw_the_pooch
I only use one at work for shipping and such and we have one for our business billing.
Look Ma, I made the write up!
/giphy I’m kinda famous
@tnhillbillygal are you really a TN hillbilly? Me too! How far are you from Knoxville? Wow…another gal like me in the world of Meh.
@tngrannyd I am! It takes us about 2 1/2 hours to get to Knoxville. (We usually get off at exit 407 and veer towards Pigeon Forge though )
@tnhillbillygal Woohoo!! You must be far East TN. I chose Knoxville because everybody knows where that is. How about Mountain City? Most eastern town and about 30 miles from me. We might be neighbors !!!
@tngrannyd I usually choose Bristol, lol! Yep! Are you the other Meh’er in Johnson County???
@tnhillbillygal Carter County now but grew up on Doe Creek. Lawsy, we may end up being related . Three Johnson County gals, at least two of us must be kin.
@tngrannyd lol, I think most all of us who are native to JC are related!
@tnhillbillygal check my reply to your answer on what did you want to be when you grew up.
@tngrannyd sent ya a reply back
@tnhillbillygal and answered.
So, what kind of games will this run? I’m guessing ‘not much’, but… hmm. Tempting still?
@KaosMachina
Minesweeper, Solitaire, maybe Pinball.
@KaosMachina Maybe pong?
@KaosMachina @Mothersnakes Tetris?
@KaosMachina A whole world of classic games.
Check out gog.com.
We know one thing…
IT WONT PLAY CRYSIS!
@fastharry It won’t play Minesweeper.
Lets be honest this is only good for one thing, looking up websites that have many many viruses!
You can do better NEW at Office Depot. You got had. Did you have a Tech buyer check this?
A refurbished Pentium N3710 Quad-Core?! Hard pass
Only 10 takers so far.
Hmm, I wonder why
When did meh started selling antique pieces this is a steal for that price. I will be buying it for museum
Be careful with refurbishments as the original manufacturer does not honor warranties (as I learned with the refurb Winix air purifier I bought from Meh). On that sale, Meh indicated that Winix honored the warranty (much like the claim here).
Deals haven’t been deals lately. Money issues MEH?
Meh, did you skip the part of your write-up that explains that, hidden inside of five randomly-selected laptops, there is a golden ticket to Intel Wonka’s Chip Factory?
Anyone have a $150 coupon code?
@medz UPUPDOWNDOWNLEFTRIGHTLEFTRIGHTBASTART
@CMH Must be specific to your account. “This coupon code was not found”
Totally meh until I saw it came in plum. Now I’m wondering if I have a use for it…

Have you removed all bloatware? What antivirus are you using? Does it have the same processor?
@DVDBZN All BS removed, using standard Windows Defender, same processor. It wasn’t fast from the get go.

@cparikh70 I sincerely doubt it.
@cparikh70 Heh, I just bought a Pi to play around with; they stock them at Target for $35
@medz that’s a metaphor used to represent the crapiness of this laptop!
@Steve7654 Yup! Amazon also has it for $35, free shipping and no tax (well for most…)
56 sold…PT Barnum was right…
There’s a sucker born every minute.
