Better Luck At a Garage Sale

KIRBSTER269
So The company I work for, of course was suckered into buying a computer with the Global S. It happens to be a Lenovo computer. It comes with a HDD, (even though I have heard Hexagon representatives, praise that you have an SSD) 2 X 8GB of Ram. When talking to them, I always hear "You should have more RAM" but everytime that I responded "We got the computer from you" They quickly respond "Well, That should be sufficient, that's what's on my computer" Rolling eyes Anyway I ordered more RAM actually HYPER <<< something like that, DDR4. That's what this Junk calls for. So I plug them in, Turn on the PC, beeps 3 times, and nothing, tried everything even take the little battery out and put it back. Nothing. So I went to the Lenovo website, so it turns out, there only a couple of companies that the memory sticks are compatible with this computer, so had to return the sticks and take a restocking fee loss. I did upgrade the HDD to an SSD. I have ranted on this before. They sold them a plate that didn't fit the CMM, The tool changer was not adjustable, it stood high and proud, but in the way of Calibration ball, had to take that off and on, timewaster, So now I am just waiting for the other Ram to come in, Just throwing this out there, if your ever in the market to buy a new machine. Do your homework or you might get bamboozled.

  • I think, for most folks, they find the 'transferring the demon' to a new rig the daunting part therefore don't even try and go for whatever the sales folks tells them.

    In this case the customer kept telling the owner "You need to get a CMM, makes things so much easier" The owner without even knowing the first thing about it, bought it, sent a couple of guys to the class, and pretty much was stuck until I come along. I started training these guys, slowly. They repeated time and time again. "We learned nothing in that class!!" I told them, that they try to Jam 5 years of knowledge in a weeks time. Hexagon is turning into a quantity, instead of quality, company.
