Just checked the motherboard, of course it is the single cheapest motherboard gigabyte makes on the platform. It has an amazing 3+1 phase vrm without a heatsink. It only supports vga out (this may actually be a blessing as it may prevent people from accidentally plugging the monitor into the igp instead of the gpu) I wonder what it will do under a combined gpu+cpu torture workload. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually catches fire.
They probably had the glue on the usb cable so they know if anyone took it apart. So I would re glue it just encase they try to say you cant return for some BS reason. Also what a pos for the price!
@@harleyme3163 I mean, ram is ram. You really aren't benefiting from the company. In terms of the build (excluding value) If I saw correctly, this ram is from adata 2400MHz. Pretty standard especially given the motherboard only supports 2133/ 2400MHz. I doubt you'll find difference between a corsair 2400MHz vs adata 2400MHz. Also, given that there's only two ram slots, it's smarter to go with one stick of 16gb. No real need to go two sticks of 8gb.
@@ihatedwang "No real need to go two sticks of 8gb" this is being sold as a gaming pc. you would only go single channel if it was literally just going to be used to browse the internet
@@ronnieclute1318 I don't know what the other config for the 32 gigabyte pc is (motherboard specifically) so my guess is that Walmart bulk bought 16gb sticks? Which could be why only one stick was used (if the dt3 motherboard also only supported 2 ram slots). And not to mention, from a gaming perspective, depending on the game, you may or may not see any sort of performance boost between dual and single.
@@ihatedwang this is a 1400 computer with 700 in parts and 700 in labor. That's outrageous. With those parts and 3 hours of labor and a reasonable markup 1000 is still high but not outrageous
They really need more choices than just "like" for comments. This is fucking CLASSIC!!! I spit my coffee everywhere when I started laughing from reading this.
And an unlock key for the 1070 to get the different chip. Jensen shows up at your house and de-solders the chip and puts in a different chip, vrm and vram..
Walmarts PC stands head and shoulders over Dells offerings. You'll never get everyone to agree on anything, but however the entire PC world came together and looked down upon Dell and said in unison "wow, what a piece of shit." But at the same time being better than Dell doesn't really say much. Thats like saying "oh yes, ill take harpies instead of genital warts." Both suck, stay away from slutty PC manufacturers.
Not really, Dell puts higher quality components in their computers than this walmart computer. Dell's biggest issue is that they insist on using the same damn case they've been using forever even though space and heat dissipation requirements have gone up a lot. So you end up with things like the Alienware towers that have decent components that get throttled due to heat.
Any body thinking twice about the reflections in the new hit man it's not ray tracing but looks the same without the performance hit ask gn you know what Todo
Did you watch the follow up video? Greatwall may not me well known to you but they are actually a maker of quite a few well known branded power supplies and may not be fantastic but they can handle over their rated wattage for a good amount of time.
@@React2Quick that's why 3 Corsair VS650 blew up in my office building. Had to replace the PSU for 47 office PCs in two days thanks to them. They tried to save money on the PSU and two Z390s and their 6700K died because of corporate greed.
@@Stein871 I'm not surprised that the PSU blew. Some of Corsair's older PSUs if I'm not mistaken had problems with them dying. If you're going to buy Corsair then buy their newer series of power supplies.
@NiftyNiklz Loss of integrity? I stopped considering them to have any integrity when they were charging 2.5x the MSRP for the New 3dsxl two or three years back around the holiday season.
Well they need to rip people off so they can afford to keep paying their workers so well!*whispering*Oh, what's that? They actually let most of their workers live in poverty or off of food stamps? Never mind then.
That's assuming they'll actually mark it as open-box. I'm more concerned that someone will pay the full 1400 or even 2100 for this exact systme and not realize.
@@WertzOne calm down wanker, you're calling this guy disturbing and unethical considering Walmart sent him something completely different to what he ordered? Not only that, that Walmart used parts in their computers that are not only cheap and poor quality, but are downright robbing customers of their money by cheaping out in areas that are integral to a quality gaming PC? who is disturbing and unethical here? if anything, it will look even better after gamers nexus has reassembled it and sent it back.
Christian Fahey technically a fan can’t be faced in the wrong direction as it could be used as an exhaust fan or intake, but ofc it could be better one direction than the other based on how the other fans are placed.
Walmart is not the business putting the rig together so pay heed to all the brand names you see in there. And yes, Walmart staff is incompetent as it it gets. I have to work there as janitor, but my own coworkers...hopeless
No, they send the PC's from a warehouse, so someone probably just picked the wrong one. But even if it's a honest mistake, if it happens often someone who doesn't knoe about PC's will probably get screwed or someone will get lucky. (If you can call it lucky as it's still overpriced)
@@cm01 is because of the dollar being very expensive, 1 real is 3.8 dollars. So $ 200 is 774 reais for us and it seems like a lot of money is here in Brazil, getting very close to the minimum wage that is 998 reais ($ 257.6)
Want to make a bet that they'll now refuse to replace it or refund it because you pulled it apart and they'll somehow claim "warranty void if removed" I can sense them trying to do that
What’s funny about this in 2019 is that my local Walmart has one of these computers on display in store, and the little info card has GTX 1070 on it but someone crossed the 7 out and replaced it with a 6 as the card very clearly shows 1060 on the side. Way to go Walmart.
@@wolfchacer0139 i do agree with your statement but i wouldnt say a joke im somewhat biased but i do have a rtx 2070 and i also had a gtx 1060ti which i also do think is a decent cart
Accent is purely from the Philippines. Trust me, those people work on graveyard shifts just to match with our timezone. How do i know ? My wife is a filipina. I'm from spain.
I actually think Wal-Mart getting into cheap generic no-name Alibaba gaming hardware is awesome. Because more competition only means that real gaming hardware is going to have to get a little cheaper or step up the game.
Its really not that hard tho, anyone can do it with a bit of common sence and googling. Most people just don't care to learn so that's where Walmart "pre-builds" come in.
It's almost kind of sad how they're cheaping out on everything, even with that huge markup. I really hope shipping the wrong PC was a mistake because it would make sense as a scam, considering 99% of customers who buy a Walmart PC probably don't know a lot about it, maybe it's their first gaming PC or even PC in general. I think it's most likely a mistake though. That scam would be a really scummy and absolutely disgusting move.
Hi sir ! I found out about your channel because someone promoted you in a comment section on a ps5 review video from a non professonial reviewer. Anyway, im amazed by how you are professional and explain and show everything we need to know about pc's and pc's parts ! Thank you for what you do. 10/10 quality and professionalism. Im sorry if my grammar is bad english is not my mother tongue.
You know, sometimes tech channels do this, buy a prebuilt computer from a large retailer and surprisingly end up eating their words or going back on their expectations and admitting that the retailer gave them surprisingly good value considering the price...not this time. Oh god, no, not this time!
Walmart is serving as the storefront for these Chinese PCs. That's it. They certainly aren't building them and they aren't even shipping them. They are coming straight from China and the drop shipper will have whatever stock they have. So Walmart shouldn't be in bed with these people but I'm also sure they will correct it. They need to find a better partner, which will be tough. Why Walmart has not devoted an aisle in their electronics section to PC components is beyond me. And if they then wanted to hire a dozen people to work in back putting these things together to sell in-store then that would be far better than this. They have a massive leg-up on the competiton by having the storefront presence they have. While the few remaining computer stores like Microcenter offer the same, being able to walk into a Walmart and buy a good gaming PC off the shelf that you can see with your own two eyes, and not having to wait, would be attractive to some people.
As a person who has worked at a warehouse, not a wallmart but still... I can guarantee its just some poor worker having a stressful day trying to work fast and managing to take out the wrong product with a simular name... Done the same thing many times, but i work with food and not 2000 dollar pcs...
Yeah those poor wally world workers hardly working for a sixpence aren't having a great life and they especially don't empathize with people being mad about a product they couldn't afford themselves.
@@calebjason4454 Doubt it. Im guessing theese are built by a external company, shipped to a walmart warehouse and then picked out onto a truck by a warehouse worker. And i bet i made more money then most people working at a warehouse a few years ago. Not saying they are "poor" in the money kind of way but more in the its a exausting job kinda way.
Yea but it’s great for someone who doesn’t understand this stuff. A little kid getting into PC gaming and his parents see Walmart has it. He’ll prolly get this lol. GeatVid!
Now it depends what you mean by that a gaming pc made by walmart yes thats a bad idea but a gaming pc made by some other company that uses walmart as a place to sell their products isnt that bad
I have worked with computers since the 80’s. I started building my own systems and will absolutely never buy anything pre-made (other than a laptop if I need one) from Wal-Mart, Dell, HP, or any of the other people that market PC’s I this category. My current system kills this one you reviewed and I paid less for it. Granted I built it myself but at least I know what I got. I hate the fact that they rip people off like this. Great review of this PC. I hope you got the issue resolved.
Silent honestly it can be a lot worse. It could use: refurb mining card, sketchy h310 with ddr3 (don’t ask me how it works i have no clue), obv ddr3 ram. A pcu that’s worse, he was wrong about dell use better pcu than great wall, dell one is no better.
@@chinesememer Dell actually uses quite a few delta power supplies in it's upper end systems, mostly the optiplex and precision systems. All the current 7060 systems I have deployed in the last month had delta made 90 plus platinum supplies. I think even the xps systems contain a liteon power supply that is at least 80 bronze rated. I manage about 500+ of current optiplex systems. I have yet to have a power supply failure in any one of them.
Everything about that thing reeks of cheapness. Walmart is gonna take advantage of a bunch of grandparents who think they are getting something nice for their grandkids. 🖕🏼Walmart
Yeah that is heartbreaking to think about. Only people who will buy this are the uninformed, or someone who wants to leave it in "trusted" hands. They will spend their hard earned money and the recipient will not feel the joy that was intended.
It's bad when you set your expectations on the floor and the product still managed to fall short. Happy black Friday to everyone, I hope you aren't here because you bought one of these.
Bibasik7 lol that guy! I could build a better pc with broken arms. All he did was waffle about how his wristband and 10 tonnes of thermal paster where what made him god’s gift to pc gaming.
@George Costanza Huh? People constantly sue corporations and companies in the US (and each other) it's kind of one of the things we're known for. Not to mention look how much shit Apple and NVIDIA get non stop from Americans. I don't think you know what you're talking about.
@@coldfusionstormgaming1808 If they correct their mistake you will have a hard time suing. Companies are allowed to make mistakes, as long as they compensate you. What are you expecting to be compensated for more than the correct order or money back? Lost income? Emotional distress? Good luck. If it turns out to be a widespread issue and are negligent or doing it on purpose a class action lawsuit might be possible, but that is very unlikely to happen.
This isnt uncommon, Walmart online has HORRIBLE shipping management. They have sent wrong products, damaged products, etc and its happened to me time and time again to the point where I refuse to use them. *_STAY AWAY FROM WALMART ONLINE_*
Had a buddy who worked in Walmart Distribution warehouse. Long story short Quality Control does not exist. Everything is literally thrown into piles into trucks and sent out.
EDDSWORLDMEGAFAN I worked at a wal mart and any product online or not is sent to a store via distribution center and unloaded by testosterone and cigarette fueled young men that throw and stack your products as violently and quickly as possible as to make it to their cigarette break on time
Honestly I wouldn’t even believe Walmart would do something like this. You can literally sue them for this, in a way you are opening my eyes to all these companies. Thank you
We are talking Walmart here. I mean look at how they pay their employees and such. I don't think "quality" when it comes to stuff like this from Walmart. All the Waltons care about is raking in the cash like Bezos and the rest.
They will cheapen out how they can. Mark up to appear valuable to non-PC experts who then buy these overpriced PCs. Like a business who wants to squeeze out more from that new line before they end up getting a bad name.
You should just return it for a refund instead of an exchange. And you should charge them for the return too since I bet you'll put it back together better than they gave it to you.
As someone who works in a Am...another company's warehouse, it was probably mis-scanned and there system doesn't do multiple checks on a product before shipping. Could be they put there own wrong ASIN on the box. I have seen some with literally 11 different barcodes. Or they store similar items together, a no-no in warehousing at walmart's level. Either way, the mix up was definitely at warehouse level and i doubt someone else got the one he was supposed to
Not surprising, but not limited to Walmart. I ordered an I-7 laptop from Toshiba (back when they still made gaming laptops) with all the added extras (more memory, bigger SSD, better DVD-RW)... when it arrived, the sticker said "Intel I-3 Inside". Customer support had no idea what the difference was between an I-3 and an I-7. Argued with them for hours, finally got them to give me a refund and when I checked the amount they refunded me a couple days later realized they charged me a "restocking fee" because it was custom ordered. - . - Another hour on the phone and I finally got the rest of my money back. This was the 4th (and last) time I bought a laptop from them.
Let's just say "significantly less" would be an entirely accurate statement. I'll match the components with retail costs real quick. Mobo: $65 CPU: 300 Mem: 40 (very very hard to find that model of Adata) GFX Card: $300-400 (Gigabyte GTX 1070 WindForce) PSU: $60 (No kidding; generic PSU is sixty bucks!) SSD: Cannot locate price. It's an Adata, marking it as one of the worst SSDs on the market, ever. I'd estimate it's a $40-50 SSD. HDD: $55 (Toshiba 2TB) Windows: $100 Case: 50 Grand total: ~$1070 Walmart probably built this machine for under 900 given that most of these components are obscure OE junk parts, and taking in to account Walmart's extremely high pressure, predatory pricing and negotiating tactics
@@gymkhanadog There's no way that 16g DDR4 ram stick is 40 dollars. I paid twice that much for 8 gigs of DDR4, you must've been looking at some DDR3 variant.
@@wisemage0 Craptastic OE junk not made for the retail channel, but you're right. I think I may have mistaken an 8GB stick for that. All I'm finding now is OE pricing which is ridiculously high. Let's tack another 50 bucks on, just to be safe. 16G (2x8, G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR4 2400) should run you about 105 bucks.
you would save roughly 500-700$ most likely....I got a similar build to that marketed one with substantially better components and it cost me roughly $1850 after tax.
Same. Is it bad computer over all (for correct price)? Not at all. Does one lose wire brakes performance? Over 5 years you will not save time that ir took to watch this :(
I thought I was the only one. Every single video I watched, this was playing next. So eff it, I'll watch it and now I'm pissed at Walmart and YT. Thanks for the vid Steve
Office PC motherboard, cheap no-heatsink-ram crap PSU and cooling and no dust filters? It doesn't matter. It has L-E-mofokin-Ds. That's what makes a computer good. A lot of LEDs.
You forgot to mention that dual channel memory are not being utilized. One 2400mhz memory stick running in single channel will seriously hurt performance.
@@aos32 I think he said it only supports a single stick per channel anyway with its two slot configuration - the motherboard is just that cheap and nasty
@@karlcloudy No, here is one motherboard with the same chipset: www.wootware.co.za/msi-h310m-pro-vdh-intel-h310-coffee-lake-lga1151-micro-atx-desktop-motherboard.html "Dual Channel Memory Architecture" But the chipset only have one DIMM per channel: ark.intel.com/products/133348/Intel-H310-Chipset
These have to be more wide spread issues, because you TH-camrs seem to pretty consistently run into issues like this when ordering these things. And like you said, they probably ship a lot of the wrong systems to people that never notice the mistake, so Walmart gets away with it. I find it suspicious that whenever this sort of thing happens the buyer always gets a product shipped to them that is a lesser item than they ordered. They never seem to receive something that is an upgrade over the item they ordered.
The day you realize some pecker head in shipping sent the wrong stuff to a reviewer that was just waiting to rip holes in your Underoos. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot.
The only thing that was ridiculous was that had he looked at EITHER box before inking the computer out and ripping it open, he would have discovered it wasn't fraud, just a shipping mistake. 🤦🏼♂️
When I was a naive 10 year old I wanted a gaming pc and a mac caught my eye with an i7 and 16Gb of Ram, no gpu. $1000. I think enthusiasts and gamers need to realise how much they have learned over time and understand that people who don't know PCs will just judge the PC based on the price. Stay humble folks. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
I know this video is older now but I had some free time so I decided to watch it while doing some paperwork. The bothers me the most about companies like this is that they're not ripping off me they're ripping off grandma or a well-intentioned mom or dad that's computer illiterate most likely for a school-age child that also likes gaming, when I picture grandma or Grandpa saving up their social security money to buy something like this it infuriates me. Walmart's well-known to take advantage of people, always seem like the bigger they got the more faceless and evil they became.
This is you most successful video by a mile. Just imagine how much you would make if you tore down a macbook pro or i-Mac. Apple would pay you serious money to take down the video.
Louis Rossmann already does that on his channel, constantly showing shoddy workmanship. But the only thing Apple ever gives him are cease and desist letters. th-cam.com/channels/l2mFZoRqjw_ELax4Yisf6w.html
The thing is, unlike Walmart, Apple sell their computers with the exact parts as described. You're paying a premium not for the computer but for the Apple brand. However, I do want to add that for work MacBook is far superior to any other laptops especially for programming and deployments. Also, it's just a really powerful tool to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I'm speaking from personal experience, so take it with a grain of salt. Then for gaming, you cannot beat a windows PC. It just blows iMac out of the water in terms of quality for the money spent.
@@MikeCOYS I hate apple but that is a fair statement. I wouldn't spend $ on an apple product though, except maybe the headphones as they're pretty comfortable.
On a more serious note, the first thing I do when I build a rig is remove the dust filters from the case. I've never found them very beneficial and prefer to use my MetroPCS blower to clean the case out which I'd do regardless of whether or not there's any dust filters. They just seem pointless since dust will always still get in there.
@@tekelupharsin4426 in a properly made case like the Fractal Design Define R6, almost every intake area is covered by a dust filter. This means the dust that is an issue to performance, it kept away from the components. Those filters can be cleaned every 3 months and any fine dust inside of the case is easily taken care of once or twice a year by an air compressor. Dust filters make keeping your computer clean more convenient. The fine dust that does get inside of the case doesn't really affect performance to my experience. PS: I'd like to note the fine dust never builds up to dust bunnies that would affect performance.
@@MrMega200 While dust may be an issue for components in the future, restricting airflow with the gratuitous use of dust filters can be an issue immediately, although obviously in this case (pun?) the fans will never see a single dust particle.
Well considering all the great resources to help you build your own PC available online, it's easy-as to build your own. I just finished building my own PC, it's just a matter of attaching a few parts, plugging some cables in and installing an OS. PCs are basically just PSU/ Motherboard/ CPU/ RAM/ SSD, CPU cooler, Case (and case fans) and that's about it. Add your graphics card of choice!
Called it in Kyle's video, mobo is Gigabyte H310M-S2. One of the cheapest mobo out there. The cheapest in my favorite local shop in fact. Cheap psu(none-black unit with ketchup and mustard cable, cheap case(no front USB 3, none reuseable pcie cover, no rubber grommet), cheap ram with slow speed and no heat spreader. I think the 1070 is also the cheapest model from Gigabyte as well, note the absence of a backplate. Even if they did ship what the customers order, the parts are so cheap it's not even worth it.
Well, as a WMT shareholder, I'm disappointed in this effort by WMT. Mistakes happen and because the author is a TH-camr I think WMT should give him the kid-glove treatment. But a heat spreader on RAM? A quick Google search: (2012)"In general, ram does not need fancy heatsinks. They are mostly marketing."
Except it will run just as fast as any other 8700 + 1070 rig, people buying PC's from walmart just want something that will work and be powerful. This is it.
@@Clapxiomatic but it wont run as fast as other 1070 + 8700 rigs because the cheap motherboard chipset is limiting most of the components power. plus most systems would be at least be in duel channel memory mode so even the ram is suffering big time. the whole pc isnt just cheap parts , it is also mix-matched parts causing all types of bad.
@@thewizardoftech5075 That motherboard will not limit a standard 8700, whats there is fine. Benchmark it vs any other standard 8700 +1070 and it will be the same. Unless you specifically seek out memory benchmarks, the memory in single channel mode would not be an issue.

Are we talking about an actual brand like Coke or just 2l of any sugar-water? Because for an off-brand soda, 99 cents for 2l still allows for a profit margin.
@@KaeYoss Well the OffBrand is 99 cents. And the big brand crap is lowered compared to other places in most cases. Im just saying they have very low sale prices in most of the garbage they sell. So the profit margins from that i cant imagine are going to be enough. In order to maintain their empire they need the big ticket items like what we see here. But when selling so much product they cant possibly have any quality in anything they sell.
2 liters are like $2 here in Arizona. Even the extra large refill cup at Circle K is 1.59, and over a dollar for a refill, when it used by 89 cents for refill. Soda at restuarants and fast food places are 2x or 3x times what you'd pay at circle K. Where are you that you can get a 2 liter for less then 99 cents?
Having Worked at a Walmart I would say it was an honest mistake, I assume that the person who built the computer worked at the store and it was most likely the assembler in the back. The location I worked out in high school we only had one assembler, and he was a 70-year-old retired handyman. He could build a child’s bike in 10 minutes because bikes and flatpack furniture was there bread and butter, knowing Walmart I would bet they just dumped the computer on and said hey Bill this, so he didn’t know the differences and things like the video cards video cards
See kids, this is why you should learn how to build you own PC. For that amount of cash you can build a much better PC, and not get ripped off by a large soulless corporation.
With the right sales or a couple of used pieces of hardware you could build a PC comparable to the one they shipped him for about 600 to 700 bucks. Don't be dumb people, read more spend less.
Exactly. To the “reviewer”: How about reviewing the correct product? What’s the point of sloppily and roughly tearing down a DTW1 to say that each component is not that of the DTW3? No shit. Do the components not match the specs for a DTW1, as indicated on the boxes? So everything from the shipping and retail boxes said DTW1. No need to even open the box/es. No one going out of their way to pay for the DTW3 over the DTW1, is going to simply not bother to even look at the box/es for DTW1/3 indicia. It was a fulfillment/shipping error, clearly. That’s why they are exchanging it. Why fuck it all up the way you did? What a fucking noob. Thank goodness people don’t buy your shit builds, which apparently takes less care than Walmart’s OEM factory. Then you go on and on about all the poor parents and grandparents who will be victimized by this product being way overpriced. Who the fuck spends over $2100+ on a PC, tower only, for their grand/kids and doesn’t know dick about PC’s? Who the fuck drops $2100+ without looking into a product at all, especially when shopping at Walmart? You sir are a moron and your TH-cam channel is shit.
@@@TweakRacer You weren't paying attention. Once he found out he'd been sent a $1400 DWT1, he reviewed it as a $1400 DWT1, with all the expectations of a low-end gaming machine.
@@TweakRacer Go to Walmart for your next computer. What would have happened if that computer was sold to a newbie or a mom buying for her kid? They would have given Walmart an extra $1000 for crap because even at $1400 that computer is overpriced garbage that could be built for under $500.
@@TweakRacer he wasn't reviewing it from a benchmark standpoint, and saying "why doesn't this 1070 perform like a 1080ti??!!." He reviewed it from a build quality and part quality standpoint, acknowledging the shipping mixup, and pointing out the problems that are almost certainly present in ALL of the builds they ship out. Do you really think they would do better cable routing, and put higher quality components in the next tier? Certainly not. I'm sure the 1080ti model also has a Great Wall PSU, albeit potentially higher wattage, and same CPU cooler fan, same front panel spacing, etc. The shipping mixup is irrelevant in this review with the notable exception of the point he made about uninformed consumers not even knowing they may be getting ripped off, since someone who knows nothing about computers wouldn't be able to tell the difference when looking at the parts.
To be honest, I had 2 Gigabyte motherboards and on both the USB3 cable wasn't holding really well. Whille watching this I completely understood why "Wallmart technicians" used hot glue to hold USB3 cable in place. But the whole system is still a mess.
@Andrew Crews My MSI B350 board has the same issue, it's not a constant issue, but every few months or so when I clean the inside I just push everything back in. Idk about your board, but mine don't come unplugged enough to stop working or anything, but they definitely do slowly back out of the header.....I'm honestly thinking about poppin my glass off and puttin a little dab of hot glue on there now hahaha😂 With how loose ours are, I could easily picture the Walmart one coming un-plugged completely during shipping. Its even easier to picture since I work at a UPS shipping hub, I can almost guarantee it would come unplugged, especially with how 90% of the workers handle shit. At least at my hub, some places will most definitely be better at handling shit than others, but if your box gets sorted to Philadelphia, you better cross your fingers!! 🤞🤞🤞🤣
I work in an RMA department and some companies have SOP’s that tell you to hot glue certain cables to their ports. I can understand if it’s for shipping purposes, especially if it’s going overseas. Another thing I can think of is in the event someone tampers with the equipment they would know. Kind of a long shot but eh
SavannahsDad23 well you should be, being that their customers are all dead...and stinking up the trailer park something fierce. Fuckin fat people. Who are they finding that keeps having sex with them to make all these god damn pigs
Walmart is like them little markets all put together. All kinds of people trying to rip you off with knock off products. But in case of Walmart, its mass produced and put in a 'store'.
I just recently picked up a Lenovo IdeaPad 3i 14" Windows 11 Home for $249. Obviously this is a sub-300 dollar laptop but its great for travel and donut shops. The only issue is I had to go to 3 different Walmarts in one day to get it. The first one, showed to be in stock but when I got there they couldnt find it. The 2nd one, all they had was the demo model and it was broken. The third store, had only one and a store employee tried to say he was going to buy it when he got off. I argued that Im the customer and Im here to buy it NOW!! Finally I got my backup Lenovo. Dang it Walmart!
@SinistaN their other stuff is usually within spitting distance of what you paid if not inline. This is like pre ordering a Ferrari with the worst trim at a massive markup and having them still send a Subaru BRZ in it's stead.

It's as bad as those kids who think tripping someone down steps and then saying it was only a prank. I'll fucking shoot them and kill them for this shit. It's not a prank. It's you assaulting me. As for the computer....pass. I can get better for less.
My first pc was a e machine and I remember the e machine homepage with the e machine widget's and logo man I miss them days I remember it was a athalon to.
I had a buddy who had custom made psu cables which were ketchup and mustard themed on his $2000 pc. The Walmart pc reminds me of that, just without it being intentional.
Xianhong Meng Yeah, free for everyone, but that’s the thing. The wealthy pay for the poor, the poor do nothing. Little annoying in my opinion, but each country is different. U Chinese?
That Great Wall PSU is actually a great choice if you only want to spend 20 dollar on PSU in China, it’s more reliable than you think, but I didn’t expect it shows up in a 2 grand PC...
He paid for the $2K PC, but he didn't get the $2K PC. We don't know that they use this power supply in the $2K PC (but they probably do). Also, he probably got the cheap one because someone in the warehouse switched the boxes to buy the lower end one and get the higher end one.
I would not touch a Great Wall PSU unless it was $3, or less, and I was throwing in an office/grandma PC never to pull more more than 120 watts max in it's lifetime. A PSU is something I tell people to never skimp out on, because I've had a few over the years go BANG! just being my thrifty self trying to save a few bucks before learning my lessons, and it's sad these companies are using such shitty components, and charging this much.
Checked over their websites, that's a GW-6000(80+), they claim it has a 80+ bronze certification. They actively refuse to sell it at home, but are happy to sell it abroad on gwoversea.com. it's closest statistical equivalent they sell at home is the Dragon 600SP, its a 600RMB part (~$86 USD) but it appears FAR superior on every front. Another company only behaving reputable at home, but behaving disreputably internationally. This is why China gets a bad reputation. :-(
Whats funny is, if you get a pre built you're going to end up having to troubleshoot it yourself and change out the parts someday. You might as well just learn to build your own from the start.
This didn't surprise me at all, when i first got into pc gaming i bought an Alienware Pc from walmart that they said was "New" the pc had a user on it and after talking with customer support they told me they could sell me a new copy of windows and that was it. I trudged on got into the main desktop myself got it all set up and a game installed, the game and the pc then crashed within 5 minutes. (Found out why it was returned a first time). When i tried to run any game after that they did not run and the pc would just restart. Took it back to the store i boght it from showed them my reciept showing it should have been new and got a full refund. I then went and built my own pc, (was concerned with doing it before). Moral of the story here is dont buy electronics from walmart. Just dont do it.
I can only hope more people do this. If my kid wants a PC for gaming, he will have to build it himself at least the first time. (Yes i'd watch that he dose not f it up, just in case)
@@redlegsgreaves8754 honestly this should be a requirement for all users of any desktop computer Nationwide. Because of how simplified and efficient technology has become because of advances in mass production and the fact that the past 30 years of design have made 'building your own PC' a plug-and-play experience of software and Hardware, unless time or budgetary constraints make it impossible for you to do so, there is no reason why someone should not just order the complete 'PC kit' of popular ready to install ingredients, and pop it all together before 'turning the key' and taking off. Call it the driver's ed equivalent of personal computing, it's just a basic skill that anyone who operates a device should learn for their own sake. but most drivers don't even know how to change the oil in their modern cars so what can I say? It's not like the olden days where _building a PC_ solely implied pulling a Woz and machining your own connectors, soldering wires, pressing boards, and carving a case out of plywood. It's easier than ever now to make a PC, everything you need is online.
@@PACKERMAN2077 just the copypasta from my own earlier comment, i can't agree more. "Yes I understand that sometimes its not an option, but i honestly believe that any person who wants to step into the more then just office work world, should build their own PC at least once. Its an empowering experience and lets the people who do it get a better understanding and handling of the magical box which produces pictures. And mostly because its NOT THAT HARD after ONE day of research most people will be able to get a decent idea of how to do this, especially younger people should be encouraged. Yes, there are often little details for which one will need actual experience and time, but under supervision its safe enough, heck even without supervision the chance is high that the end result is better, then what many pre made machines offer and also would make the market as a hole focus more then now on higher quality production, when your customers are better educated and generally lessen consumer exploitation. Make it be like a drivers license for drivers. Again for some situations its not a feasible option, but wilful ignorance because of simple laziness is something that has to be fought because it is placating people in more and more areas. And building a PC is a good place to start."
Mine was prebuilt too, baught it from a german techcompany called expert. Got what i ordered: i5 10400F, a GTX 1650, 16 Gigs of ram 1 Terabyte HDD, was actually suprised they even used a Seagate barracuda series HDD. The Case was trash, it looked shitty, was around cheap plastic and echoie as fck. The back ventilator gave up not even 1 year after buying the PC so i got a new case since i wanted a new one anyway.
Exactly. They need their profit margins. A 1400$ PC shouldn't be built like that, I could choose a better configuration and build quality for the same price. Never buy PCs from Walmart.
It would be Interesting to see a tear down from a UK company like Scan Computers who are known for high quality builds. Maybe difficult to get hold of one in the US though. And expensive to ship

Steve this trash happens all the time, even for the stores.
Just checked the motherboard, of course it is the single cheapest motherboard gigabyte makes on the platform.
It has an amazing 3+1 phase vrm without a heatsink.
It only supports vga out (this may actually be a blessing as it may prevent people from accidentally plugging the monitor into the igp instead of the gpu)
I wonder what it will do under a combined gpu+cpu torture workload. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually catches fire.
They probably had the glue on the usb cable so they know if anyone took it apart. So I would re glue it just encase they try to say you cant return for some BS reason. Also what a pos for the price!
How many bipeds are going to be scammed this holiday season? It was no shipping mistake IMO, they are just seeing if it sticks.

@@harleyme3163 I mean, ram is ram. You really aren't benefiting from the company. In terms of the build (excluding value) If I saw correctly, this ram is from adata 2400MHz. Pretty standard especially given the motherboard only supports 2133/ 2400MHz. I doubt you'll find difference between a corsair 2400MHz vs adata 2400MHz.

Walmarts PC stands head and shoulders over Dells offerings. You'll never get everyone to agree on anything, but however the entire PC world came together and looked down upon Dell and said in unison "wow, what a piece of shit."
But at the same time being better than Dell doesn't really say much. Thats like saying "oh yes, ill take harpies instead of genital warts." Both suck, stay away from slutty PC manufacturers.
Not really, Dell puts higher quality components in their computers than this walmart computer. Dell's biggest issue is that they insist on using the same damn case they've been using forever even though space and heat dissipation requirements have gone up a lot. So you end up with things like the Alienware towers that have decent components that get throttled due to heat.

You know, sometimes tech channels do this, buy a prebuilt computer from a large retailer and surprisingly end up eating their words or going back on their expectations and admitting that the retailer gave them surprisingly good value considering the price...not this time. Oh god, no, not this time!
Walmart is serving as the storefront for these Chinese PCs. That's it. They certainly aren't building them and they aren't even shipping them. They are coming straight from China and the drop shipper will have whatever stock they have. So Walmart shouldn't be in bed with these people but I'm also sure they will correct it. They need to find a better partner, which will be tough.
Why Walmart has not devoted an aisle in their electronics section to PC components is beyond me. And if they then wanted to hire a dozen people to work in back putting these things together to sell in-store then that would be far better than this. They have a massive leg-up on the competiton by having the storefront presence they have. While the few remaining computer stores like Microcenter offer the same, being able to walk into a Walmart and buy a good gaming PC off the shelf that you can see with your own two eyes, and not having to wait, would be attractive to some people.

This isnt uncommon, Walmart online has HORRIBLE shipping management. They have sent wrong products, damaged products, etc and its happened to me time and time again to the point where I refuse to use them.
*_STAY AWAY FROM WALMART ONLINE_*
Had a buddy who worked in Walmart Distribution warehouse. Long story short Quality Control does not exist. Everything is literally thrown into piles into trucks and sent out.
EDDSWORLDMEGAFAN I worked at a wal mart and any product online or not is sent to a store via distribution center and unloaded by testosterone and cigarette fueled young men that throw and stack your products as violently and quickly as possible as to make it to their cigarette break on time
Amazon, forget Walmart
*STAY AWAY FROM WALMART*
Fixed that for you.
How others see walmart: A big thrift store
How I see walmart: A big trash can full of junk
Doesn't need dust filters, the air can't get in anyway lol
Klaufmann lol why would dust need to game

Honestly I wouldn’t even believe Walmart would do something like this. You can literally sue them for this, in a way you are opening my eyes to all these companies. Thank you
We are talking Walmart here. I mean look at how they pay their employees and such. I don't think "quality" when it comes to stuff like this from Walmart. All the Waltons care about is raking in the cash like Bezos and the rest.
They will cheapen out how they can. Mark up to appear valuable to non-PC experts who then buy these overpriced PCs.
Like a business who wants to squeeze out more from that new line before they end up getting a bad name.
You should just return it for a refund instead of an exchange. And you should charge them for the return too since I bet you'll put it back together better than they gave it to you.
they should pay for the return no matter what as its their fault for messing up
When I heard Walmart had a gaming pc I though it was going to be $600 max...$2000 they tripping tripping fr
You would be better off buying hardware individually and building a custom setup and end up with a better product for less money $$.
Lol someone out there got a sick deal when they received your computer. Shipping error on Wal-Mart's part.
They actually still probably would make margins if they sold the DTW3 for the DTW1 price tbf
Well, actually, that “sick deal” they got from receiving his computer was probably the price they should have been charged in the first place imao😂😂
Not necessarily. Walmart may just be seeing if they can get away with sending the cheaper one.
As someone who works in a Am...another company's warehouse, it was probably mis-scanned and there system doesn't do multiple checks on a product before shipping. Could be they put there own wrong ASIN on the box. I have seen some with literally 11 different barcodes. Or they store similar items together, a no-no in warehousing at walmart's level. Either way, the mix up was definitely at warehouse level and i doubt someone else got the one he was supposed to
You assume they switched rigs. They could have just sent everyone the DTW1, lol.
Not surprising, but not limited to Walmart. I ordered an I-7 laptop from Toshiba (back when they still made gaming laptops) with all the added extras (more memory, bigger SSD, better DVD-RW)... when it arrived, the sticker said "Intel I-3 Inside". Customer support had no idea what the difference was between an I-3 and an I-7. Argued with them for hours, finally got them to give me a refund and when I checked the amount they refunded me a couple days later realized they charged me a "restocking fee" because it was custom ordered. - . - Another hour on the phone and I finally got the rest of my money back.
This was the 4th (and last) time I bought a laptop from them.
I bummed you guys didn't find prices for the parts and add up a total vs how much it cost to buy.
Let's just say "significantly less" would be an entirely accurate statement. I'll match the components with retail costs real quick.
Mobo: $65
CPU: 300
Mem: 40 (very very hard to find that model of Adata)
GFX Card: $300-400 (Gigabyte GTX 1070 WindForce)
PSU: $60 (No kidding; generic PSU is sixty bucks!)
SSD: Cannot locate price. It's an Adata, marking it as one of the worst SSDs on the market, ever. I'd estimate it's a $40-50 SSD.
HDD: $55 (Toshiba 2TB)
Windows: $100
Case: 50
Grand total: ~$1070
Walmart probably built this machine for under 900 given that most of these components are obscure OE junk parts, and taking in to account Walmart's extremely high pressure, predatory pricing and negotiating tactics
@@gymkhanadog Wow, that's a pretty big difference in price, but I can't say I'm surprised
@@gymkhanadog There's no way that 16g DDR4 ram stick is 40 dollars. I paid twice that much for 8 gigs of DDR4, you must've been looking at some DDR3 variant.
@@wisemage0 Craptastic OE junk not made for the retail channel, but you're right. I think I may have mistaken an 8GB stick for that. All I'm finding now is OE pricing which is ridiculously high. Let's tack another 50 bucks on, just to be safe.
16G (2x8, G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR4 2400) should run you about 105 bucks.
you would save roughly 500-700$ most likely....I got a similar build to that marketed one with substantially better components and it cost me roughly $1850 after tax.

Looks like Walmart hired someone from Verge to design that thing.
The profit margin on that PC must be huge. I wish you tallied up the costs of building a of with exactly these parts to compare.
Pretty sure it's within 800$ in terms of parts pricing when this video was made. With the 1070 being roughly around 380$
Who knows how many more people are being ripped off.
Office PC motherboard, cheap no-heatsink-ram crap PSU and cooling and no dust filters? It doesn't matter. It has L-E-mofokin-Ds. That's what makes a computer good. A lot of LEDs.
You forgot to mention that dual channel memory are not being utilized. One 2400mhz memory stick running in single channel will seriously hurt performance.
if you put in red LEDs it goes even faster!!!
@@aos32 I think he said it only supports a single stick per channel anyway with its two slot configuration - the motherboard is just that cheap and nasty
@@karlcloudy No, here is one motherboard with the same chipset:

These have to be more wide spread issues, because you TH-camrs seem to pretty consistently run into issues like this when ordering these things. And like you said, they probably ship a lot of the wrong systems to people that never notice the mistake, so Walmart gets away with it. I find it suspicious that whenever this sort of thing happens the buyer always gets a product shipped to them that is a lesser item than they ordered. They never seem to receive something that is an upgrade over the item they ordered.
The day you realize some pecker head in shipping sent the wrong stuff to a reviewer that was just waiting to rip holes in your Underoos.
Talk about starting off on the wrong foot.
Did it come with Windows 98 instead of 10 as well? Ridiculous...
98 is badass dude
As long as you're disabled the upgrade is free 😂😂

That's actually an upgrade. LOL
When I was a naive 10 year old I wanted a gaming pc and a mac caught my eye with an i7 and 16Gb of Ram, no gpu. $1000. I think enthusiasts and gamers need to realise how much they have learned over time and understand that people who don't know PCs will just judge the PC based on the price. Stay humble folks. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
I know this video is older now but I had some free time so I decided to watch it while doing some paperwork. The bothers me the most about companies like this is that they're not ripping off me they're ripping off grandma or a well-intentioned mom or dad that's computer illiterate most likely for a school-age child that also likes gaming, when I picture grandma or Grandpa saving up their social security money to buy something like this it infuriates me.

You always think you know computer terms and computers in general until you hear Steve talk.
This is you most successful video by a mile. Just imagine how much you would make if you tore down a macbook pro or i-Mac. Apple would pay you serious money to take down the video.
Or you know, sue. Because they think they can get away with that.
Louis Rossmann already does that on his channel, constantly showing shoddy workmanship. But the only thing Apple ever gives him are cease and desist letters. th-cam.com/channels/l2mFZoRqjw_ELax4Yisf6w.html
The thing is, unlike Walmart, Apple sell their computers with the exact parts as described. You're paying a premium not for the computer but for the Apple brand.
However, I do want to add that for work MacBook is far superior to any other laptops especially for programming and deployments. Also, it's just a really powerful tool to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I'm speaking from personal experience, so take it with a grain of salt.
Then for gaming, you cannot beat a windows PC. It just blows iMac out of the water in terms of quality for the money spent.
@@MikeCOYS I hate apple but that is a fair statement. I wouldn't spend $ on an apple product though, except maybe the headphones as they're pretty comfortable.
yeah, their headphones are very well created. I was very sceptical of it at first but Apple just has a knack of knowing what their user wants.
I see nothing wrong having no dust filter on the front. No airflow, no dust, no problem.
On a more serious note, the first thing I do when I build a rig is remove the dust filters from the case. I've never found them very beneficial and prefer to use my MetroPCS blower to clean the case out which I'd do regardless of whether or not there's any dust filters. They just seem pointless since dust will always still get in there.
Lol facts.
Pure Aesthetic Fans.
@@tekelupharsin4426 in a properly made case like the Fractal Design Define R6, almost every intake area is covered by a dust filter. This means the dust that is an issue to performance, it kept away from the components. Those filters can be cleaned every 3 months and any fine dust inside of the case is easily taken care of once or twice a year by an air compressor. Dust filters make keeping your computer clean more convenient. The fine dust that does get inside of the case doesn't really affect performance to my experience.
PS: I'd like to note the fine dust never builds up to dust bunnies that would affect performance.
@@MrMega200 While dust may be an issue for components in the future, restricting airflow with the gratuitous use of dust filters can be an issue immediately, although obviously in this case (pun?) the fans will never see a single dust particle.
Well considering all the great resources to help you build your own PC available online, it's easy-as to build your own. I just finished building my own PC, it's just a matter of attaching a few parts, plugging some cables in and installing an OS.
PCs are basically just PSU/ Motherboard/ CPU/ RAM/ SSD, CPU cooler, Case (and case fans) and that's about it. Add your graphics card of choice!
"1. They sent us the wrong SKU,
2. The SKU they sent us is absolute smoking garbage."
Called it in Kyle's video, mobo is Gigabyte H310M-S2. One of the cheapest mobo out there. The cheapest in my favorite local shop in fact. Cheap psu(none-black unit with ketchup and mustard cable, cheap case(no front USB 3, none reuseable pcie cover, no rubber grommet), cheap ram with slow speed and no heat spreader. I think the 1070 is also the cheapest model from Gigabyte as well, note the absence of a backplate. Even if they did ship what the customers order, the parts are so cheap it's not even worth it.
Well, as a WMT shareholder, I'm disappointed in this effort by WMT. Mistakes happen and because the author is a TH-camr I think WMT should give him the kid-glove treatment. But a heat spreader on RAM? A quick Google search: (2012)"In general, ram does not need fancy heatsinks. They are mostly marketing."
The PSU might actually be good, Great Wall is the manufacturer of most Corsair PSUs and some other quality brands.
Except it will run just as fast as any other 8700 + 1070 rig, people buying PC's from walmart just want something that will work and be powerful. This is it.
@@Clapxiomatic but it wont run as fast as other 1070 + 8700 rigs because the cheap motherboard chipset is limiting most of the components power. plus most systems would be at least be in duel channel memory mode so even the ram is suffering big time. the whole pc isnt just cheap parts , it is also mix-matched parts causing all types of bad.
@@thewizardoftech5075 That motherboard will not limit a standard 8700, whats there is fine. Benchmark it vs any other standard 8700 +1070 and it will be the same. Unless you specifically seek out memory benchmarks, the memory in single channel mode would not be an issue.

What more can you expect from a company that sells a 2 liter of soda for 99 cents. Gotta make that money back somehow
Are we talking about an actual brand like Coke or just 2l of any sugar-water? Because for an off-brand soda, 99 cents for 2l still allows for a profit margin.
@@KaeYoss Well the OffBrand is 99 cents. And the big brand crap is lowered compared to other places in most cases. Im just saying they have very low sale prices in most of the garbage they sell. So the profit margins from that i cant imagine are going to be enough. In order to maintain their empire they need the big ticket items like what we see here. But when selling so much product they cant possibly have any quality in anything they sell.
2 liters are like $2 here in Arizona. Even the extra large refill cup at Circle K is 1.59, and over a dollar for a refill, when it used by 89 cents for refill. Soda at restuarants and fast food places are 2x or 3x times what you'd pay at circle K. Where are you that you can get a 2 liter for less then 99 cents?

Having Worked at a Walmart I would say it was an honest mistake, I assume that the person who built the computer worked at the store and it was most likely the assembler in the back. The location I worked out in high school we only had one assembler, and he was a 70-year-old retired handyman. He could build a child’s bike in 10 minutes because bikes and flatpack furniture was there bread and butter, knowing Walmart I would bet they just dumped the computer on and said hey Bill this, so he didn’t know the differences and things like the video cards video cards
See kids, this is why you should learn how to build you own PC. For that amount of cash you can build a much better PC, and not get ripped off by a large soulless corporation.
Yessir and save hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars in the process...
I know right, for that amount of money you could probably build that same PC twice yourself
With the right sales or a couple of used pieces of hardware you could build a PC comparable to the one they shipped him for about 600 to 700 bucks. Don't be dumb people, read more spend less.
or they could just pay attention to what they're buying, i bought a pre-built pc about a year ago for about 1,000 dollars and it's not bad at all
Except the large, soulless corporations that manufacture the parts you buy, lol
Thank you GN for doing proper investigations.
*Spoiler: Walmart sent him the wrong PC.*
Exactly. To the “reviewer”:
How about reviewing the correct product? What’s the point of sloppily and roughly tearing down a DTW1 to say that each component is not that of the DTW3? No shit. Do the components not match the specs for a DTW1, as indicated on the boxes?
So everything from the shipping and retail boxes said DTW1. No need to even open the box/es. No one going out of their way to pay for the DTW3 over the DTW1, is going to simply not bother to even look at the box/es for DTW1/3 indicia. It was a fulfillment/shipping error, clearly. That’s why they are exchanging it. Why fuck it all up the way you did? What a fucking noob. Thank goodness people don’t buy your shit builds, which apparently takes less care than Walmart’s OEM factory.
Then you go on and on about all the poor parents and grandparents who will be victimized by this product being way overpriced. Who the fuck spends over $2100+ on a PC, tower only, for their grand/kids and doesn’t know dick about PC’s? Who the fuck drops $2100+ without looking into a product at all, especially when shopping at Walmart?
You sir are a moron and your TH-cam channel is shit.
@@TweakRacer Walmart CEO burner account, nice.
@@@TweakRacer You weren't paying attention. Once he found out he'd been sent a $1400 DWT1, he reviewed it as a $1400 DWT1, with all the expectations of a low-end gaming machine.
@@TweakRacer Go to Walmart for your next computer. What would have happened if that computer was sold to a newbie or a mom buying for her kid? They would have given Walmart an extra $1000 for crap because even at $1400 that computer is overpriced garbage that could be built for under $500.
@@TweakRacer he wasn't reviewing it from a benchmark standpoint, and saying "why doesn't this 1070 perform like a 1080ti??!!." He reviewed it from a build quality and part quality standpoint, acknowledging the shipping mixup, and pointing out the problems that are almost certainly present in ALL of the builds they ship out. Do you really think they would do better cable routing, and put higher quality components in the next tier? Certainly not. I'm sure the 1080ti model also has a Great Wall PSU, albeit potentially higher wattage, and same CPU cooler fan, same front panel spacing, etc. The shipping mixup is irrelevant in this review with the notable exception of the point he made about uninformed consumers not even knowing they may be getting ripped off, since someone who knows nothing about computers wouldn't be able to tell the difference when looking at the parts.
Hot glue to keep the usb3 cable in place for shipping? I can almost hang on my cable while it isn't even plugged in all the way....
To be honest, I had 2 Gigabyte motherboards and on both the USB3 cable wasn't holding really well. Whille watching this I completely understood why "Wallmart technicians" used hot glue to hold USB3 cable in place. But the whole system is still a mess.
to be honest, the USB3 connector has a TERRIBLY bad design. But still it's nowhere near that bad, that you'd have to glue the plug in place...
@Andrew Crews My MSI B350 board has the same issue, it's not a constant issue, but every few months or so when I clean the inside I just push everything back in. Idk about your board, but mine don't come unplugged enough to stop working or anything, but they definitely do slowly back out of the header.....I'm honestly thinking about poppin my glass off and puttin a little dab of hot glue on there now hahaha😂 With how loose ours are, I could easily picture the Walmart one coming un-plugged completely during shipping.
Its even easier to picture since I work at a UPS shipping hub, I can almost guarantee it would come unplugged, especially with how 90% of the workers handle shit. At least at my hub, some places will most definitely be better at handling shit than others, but if your box gets sorted to Philadelphia, you better cross your fingers!! 🤞🤞🤞🤣
To be honest, they did that for warranty purposes
I work in an RMA department and some companies have SOP’s that tell you to hot glue certain cables to their ports. I can understand if it’s for shipping purposes, especially if it’s going overseas. Another thing I can think of is in the event someone tampers with the equipment they would know. Kind of a long shot but eh
Why do I come back and watch this like every 6 months? ... guess that speaks for the content. Thanks, Steve.

The 2nd one, all they had was the demo model and it was broken. The third store, had only one and a store employee tried to say he was going to buy it when he got off. I argued that Im the customer and Im here to buy it NOW!! Finally I got my backup Lenovo. Dang it Walmart!

He paid for the $2K PC, but he didn't get the $2K PC. We don't know that they use this power supply in the $2K PC (but they probably do). Also, he probably got the cheap one because someone in the warehouse switched the boxes to buy the lower end one and get the higher end one.
No its not. It is the worst brand even amongst chinese brands.
I would not touch a Great Wall PSU unless it was $3, or less, and I was throwing in an office/grandma PC never to pull more more than 120 watts max in it's lifetime. A PSU is something I tell people to never skimp out on, because I've had a few over the years go BANG! just being my thrifty self trying to save a few bucks before learning my lessons, and it's sad these companies are using such shitty components, and charging this much.
Checked over their websites, that's a GW-6000(80+), they claim it has a 80+ bronze certification. They actively refuse to sell it at home, but are happy to sell it abroad on gwoversea.com. it's closest statistical equivalent they sell at home is the Dragon 600SP, its a 600RMB part (~$86 USD) but it appears FAR superior on every front. Another company only behaving reputable at home, but behaving disreputably internationally. This is why China gets a bad reputation. :-(
Whats funny is, if you get a pre built you're going to end up having to troubleshoot it yourself and change out the parts someday. You might as well just learn to build your own from the start.

Yes, there are often little details for which one will need actual experience and time, but under supervision its safe enough, heck even without supervision the chance is high that the end result is better, then what many pre made machines offer and also would make the market as a hole focus more then now on higher quality production, when your customers are better educated and generally lessen consumer exploitation. Make it be like a drivers license for drivers. Again for some situations its not a feasible option, but wilful ignorance because of simple laziness is something that has to be fought because it is placating people in more and more areas. And building a PC is a good place to start."
Actually building a PC for the first time isn't that easy
However there are helpful videos for that
I have been saying that for the past 10 years.
Mine was prebuilt too, baught it from a german techcompany called expert. Got what i ordered: i5 10400F, a GTX 1650, 16 Gigs of ram 1 Terabyte HDD, was actually suprised they even used a Seagate barracuda series HDD. The Case was trash, it looked shitty, was around cheap plastic and echoie as fck. The back ventilator gave up not even 1 year after buying the PC so i got a new case since i wanted a new one anyway.
Overpowered... more like Overpriced! 😐🤑😩😱
But that profit margin though. O___O
Exactly. They need their profit margins. A 1400$ PC shouldn't be built like that, I could choose a better configuration and build quality for the same price. Never buy PCs from Walmart.
It would be Interesting to see a tear down from a UK company like Scan Computers who are known for high quality builds. Maybe difficult to get hold of one in the US though. And expensive to ship
11:27 i love how steven says that Dell, ibuypower, cyberpower etc could get you a better System, well as we now know after he bought systems from them you only place you can get a PC where ain't being ripped off is getting one shipped from the UK.
