Got a good point...[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#3)

You have a good point. Buying a computer system subjects you to the same (but more of) EULA terms that are "Unlawful, Unfair, and Fraudulent" to quote attorney Rothken's complaint.

Many, if not most, stores now assess a 15% restock fee if you return an opened computer system. (Some stores only apply the restock fee to notebook PC's, some apply it to all PC's.)

Allthough it is possible to return a PC, charging a 15% re-stock fee sounds to me like it would be unlawful under the Song-Beverly Act.
