My laptop is being repaired, but still need a laptop?

Yesterday I sent my laptop to a store for repair.

And only get about 2 months.

My concern right now is how I should send or change applications.

I made my documents on a usb stick.

Is there a computer I can work with outside of town for free?

The employment agency remains closed.

Where did you hand in the notebook that they need two months to repair?!

Internet cafe, for example, or with friends / acquaintances

This may have been something you should have thought about before you sent the device away. Maybe someone near you has a device that they can borrow

Ke

Ask friends or family member. Otherwise visit an internet cafe which doesn't cost the world either

This is very common today. My husband also gave his tray to the repair shop, they said it would take four to eight weeks. But in the end it didn't take that long

St

Neija, well… If the ship has to go to South Korea first, then I can well imagine.

Po

Haha 😂

Is there still a guarantee on the notebook and did you buy the notebook in Germany or at least in the EU?

If so, and if the 2 months are correct, then you have a good chance of converting the purchase. Such a repair time is hardly reasonable for such devices, usually you should get the device back after 2-3 weeks. If this is not the case, you should write (by registered mail or qualified fax, set a grace period of 10 working days in which the repair should be completed and the device should be returned to you for use). Now this is not legal advice but reflects my opinion and experience. Possibly. Do you have to enforce the claims in court.

If there's no guarantee on the device or if you have purchased the device outside the EU, you will have to accept the long repair times, especially if the dealer advised you of the possible long repair times when accepting the repair.

What alternatives do you have?

You can often find public computers in libraries as well

Internet cafes

sometimes copy shop

Schools (if you are a student)

possibly friends and acquaintances

or you buy a replacement device:

Yes, I have a 4-year guarantee… 2 years is up. I live alone with my parents; my parents don't use one. I don't know whether it is still feasible to use a public computer in the corona time… No, I bought my laptop in Germany

Ke

I don't know… May be because of my guarantee. Because I have a guarantee for 4 years… 2 years is already over

Ke

I'm aware of that anyway… But I have to, otherwise it won't work.

Hmm. Yes, then it will probably not go to the manufacturer but to some notebook repair center and then it can take time, but sooo long… Well, yes
