I need your help and advice to take a decision (PC Exchange)


Thanks a lot for you input. It all makes sense. My laptop is 3 years old and getting a brand new one in exchange beats the keyboard and color problem. I have given my consent for the exchange :)
I would ask them if they can change the keyboard, and, if yes, for how much.

I could be wrong but if they are going to replace it with a new laptop I imagine that they want the old one as an exchange.

Yes but I mean ask them if they can change the new laptop's French keyboard to a US English keyboard before they send the new laptop, and how much it will cost to let them change the keyboard.

Yes, I hope I didn't push it too far by asking, but I asked if it was possible to change the keyboard to English and also if they would accept to send me the same laptop model with RTX5070 GPU instead of 5060 and allowing me to pay the difference.:crossed
Yes but I mean ask them if they can change the new laptop's French keyboard to a US English keyboard before they send the new laptop, and how much it will cost to let them change the keyboard.

sell it to someone with a good discount
If you want to sell, now is the time. Holidays are coming. Girl children like white. New, sealed in box you wouldn't have to discount as much as if it's been opened. Open box (looks like yours has been opened) will still sell but for a little less. Don't know where you are, but here in US refurbished ones are going for big bucks on Ebay. Local Facebook market place sales are really popular here too. Maybe you have something similar where you live.

I have not opened the box at all. You can see Lenovo seal sticker still on the box. I am in south of France. I can maybe try ebay !

Then be sure to say "New-in sealed box" however you decide to peddle it. You can use the stock Lenovo photos when advertising it rather than opening it and taking your own. That seal matters with electronics, especially for something as pricy as that. If you go the ebay route be sure to consider ebay and paypal charges when setting your price.

I was going to ask if the French used Craigslist but I found you have something more popular called LeBonCoin. You might consider that, too.

While I have sold on Ebay before, I always try FB Marketplace or Craigslist first because you don't encounter all the charges Ebay/Paypal gig you with. If you sell it and have to ship it, the other party can send you payment thru Paypal "friends and family" and there is no fee, or use any other online method you choose.. Most of my Marketplace or Caigslist sales have been fo used items and the buyers close enough that we met, they examined the item, and payment was cash in hand. But keep in mind once that seal is broken it takes dollars (guess I should say francs) out of your pocket if they change their mind. Best of luck.

Thanks a lot for your kindness and reply. I thought about this last night and slept on it and finally decided to keep the laptop as I don't have the courage to deal with a problematic buyer if something goes wrong. It's not a cheap amount and in case of problem it will be very disappointing . On the other side as this is a exchange laptop that has been given to me after my old laptop warranty has run out, they only offerd 3 month warranty with this new laptop and this will also be a problem for someone buying it. Lenovo offers me to upgrade to 1 year warranty for 120 euros (not sure I should do this or not). Also this is already a good upgrade to my old laptop and I will try to enjoy using it :)
