Best Buy Removed Half The RAM From A Gaming Laptop Because It Said The Laptop Only Supports 32GB

A customer sent a Lenovo Legion 5 in for warranty service with 64GB of RAM.

The Best Buy repair report confirmed the laptop had two 32GB RAM sticks, but the technician said the laptop “only accepts 32GB RAM maximum.”

The removed RAM was sent back to the customer with the laptop.

    I’m just glad I dodged that bullet. I had two friends on separate occasions say Best Buy was unable to fix their laptop and in both cases simply opening it and reseating the RAM was enough. I’m not sure what kind of morons they had working there.
