Wife bought me $1500 computer as gift, it is the wrong computer. What do I do?

Just take it.

It was given to you as a gift and you want to take it back.

You sicken me...

Hi,

Take it back, get a better one for less money, and then go pick up a ticket for a weekend getaway for $300-$500 that You can both take TOGETHER.

Let Her know that She spent a LOT of money on just You, and that You TRULY prefer to share anything bought for that much money.

Then explain that since it WAS a gift, You did still get one that suits what You need it for, instead of one with all the extra "bells and whistles" the one She got has that You never would've used.

AND TELL HER THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL GIFT SHE BOUGHT OUT OF SO MUCH LOVE.

G'Luck!!

This seems exactly what I would do for my hubby! And I too, am clueless about the the gaming part of anything. Be as sweet as you can possibly be and tell her that it isn't working right. Don't go on about how you can fix it. Just say that as long as you have that window, you may as well take advantage of it and get it "fixed". Then take her to a great dinner and gush over her gift. Get what you want and don't crush her. You both win!

Tell her how much you lover her for trying, but that you have to return it. If I did this for my husband and it wasn't right, I would be mad if he didn't take it back.

And please don't play dumb...just be honest. If you are as knowledgeable about computers as you seem to be, she knows it. Playing dumb would only insult her more.

I know I have gotten tools for my husband that were completely wrong. I wasn't a bit offended by him returning it. I felt bad about him having to return it for the hassle, but not because I got the wrong one. Usually when he gets the right one, he will take me with him so I learn a little about what he needs. So over the years he has had to return less and less since I'm understanding what he needs and getting it right. (not always, but more often than not - lol)

It doesn't get worst then this, my husband bought me an engagement ring that he was soooo proud of and it was soooo tiny and cost way too much for what the diamond was, he got so ripped off that I cried.Gosh then he felt worst but he told me he wanted to make it up to me and I could pick any ring and he would get me it,but the ring was non-refundable so I kept it. Tell her that you feel she got ripped off and you realize she had good intentions and offer to go with her to PICK WHAT YOU WANT

DONT USE THOSE WORDS:

" IT DOES NOT MEET MY REQUIREMENTS". Act surprise when you say, I love it and I was playing/working with all its functions, and I cant believe that it doesn't have this? or that? Would you go with me so that I can ask some questions cuz I may not know how to find these functions. Then go to the store act stupid and ask to look around at others and let her make the decision on returning that and getting you the one you want. Play Stupid at all times and ask her opinion and thoughts, lead her down the path. No harm No fault

That's a lot of money to spend without getting what you want. If I were her I would rather you tell me how much you appreciate me trying and that it was a wonderful gesture but there is another computer that would better suit you. Really, I would be a little disappointed at first but knowing you got what you really wanted and needed would make me a lot happier in the end.

Answer mine please,

Try to make the shop owner to change to an other type of computer. Even if you have to pay some extra $..

take it back for sure, it is too much money spent to keep just because she bought it as a gift when it doesn't fit your needs, it was thoughtful of her, now get back to the store before your 10 days are up!

Tell her the exact same thing what you told us. In addition to sweet words she will understand. Tell her you can both go together and exchange it for your choice. No big deal

Try for a replacement within the time for your specification .
