    I order a sony i7 laptop. After receiving and setting it up I found out that laptop is actually not i7, its i5.

    Even though it has sticker of i7, the actual processor in the laptop is i5.

    I paid full amount and waited 10 days to get this laptop.

    Is it fraud or is it really possible to see wrong settings through default comuputer settings and speccy
