Just like Packard Bell did in the mid 90s, they lure noobs into crappy services at extortionately high prices.

Haha, I occasionally receive old PB machines to fix, but I refuse to work on them anymore because they're a big pain to take apart. My dad almost bought one of those a decade ago, until he heard of the horrid experiences from a friend.
 
whats so bad about Packard Bell?
You're age is showing.

Packard Bell used to put out computers in the US, many years ago. They were very proprietary... put Dell to shame.

They were also basically non-upgradeable... what you bought was what you got.

Packard Bell stop selling in the US many years ago due to poor sales. People figured out that buying one was to buy a white elephant, and they bottomed out. They are still sold in Europe, but they are totally different than the junk that was sold in the US.
