Where did you buy this laptop again? Remind me to never shop there for a computer! Then again, remind me to never buy a refurbished laptop. Never mind, I already wouldn't do that. For the money you paid, it should have been brand new, nor a returned item. Why do you keep spending more money on their mistake?
Tell them you'll call the BBB and your credit card bank and get your money back if they don't fix this for free!

...you shouldn't have to pay them the extra 57$ for what is not your mistake. They advertised the system as being bundled with WIn 7, not 8, so the onus is on their quality control department. They should have checked the system when it was returned, and discovering a different OS on it, sent it back to ASUS to have the HDD wiped and 7 Home edition reinstalled on it at no extra charge to you.
Were it me, I'd just send the whole bloody thing back, demand a full refund (which as you used your CC you can do) and start shopping around again. You could probably get something better (with an i7) for just a little more.

rolling with the punches. finding a new pc with nagless win7 more difficult these days. getting harder to find win7 retail box.
What the hell? The G3F facial morphs package won't let you adjust eye height separately for each eye? I use this all the time on V4 (and M4) to make the face subtly asymmetrical and give it more character.

Perhaps somewhere on the dark side of the moon there are silver moonfish lighting the way in case anyone wants to take a selfie :)

Home now and tired. What is a bird bath? Is it where a bird sits in water and splashes around to get clean?
...pretty neat.
I am trying to figure out what to do next. It is not even five pm. I also cannot reach my mum about tomorrow.
says refurbed
prolly better than a returned item to amazon
a bath tub shaped like a bird?
Having difficulty with my phone call with mum
Exactly.
Thanks!
