    Out of order after a few weeks

    Worked for 1 month, under warranty. It's a pity that the after-sales service takes 15 days to a month to decide on a repair or a refund of 180€. In the meantime, I have not had a computer for several weeks, despite having bought one for about €1,600. I find this not very commercial for a site as well known as LDLC...
