When I tried to return it , they gave me a 100 bucks off of anything. So I kept it.

So in total you only spent $578?

When I tried to send in my 2 day old Dell Laptop for a defective Wi-Fi card, they tried to charge me a $50 Handling fee, and did not offer to pay shipping.

I thought you were gonna mention something along these lines.
