      You bought the computer and paid a subscription to be able to replace the computer with a new one every year or two.

        Wow, that’s scummy as hell!

        *the way they were marketing it is scummy as hell. Not the service itself.

          It actually was a good concept cause you’d get a massive discount on a new PC by signing up for the subscription program. The only thing “scummy” about it was the way it was marketed.
