I bought my mother a faulty laptop to use for her work
What was your reason for buying her a broken laptop?
I bought it for her for fun
Buying a broken laptop for others is rude. She will not be able to use it at all.
She was actually fine with it. We are going to be upgrading it soon.
It is kind of messed up to purchase something for someone else that is broken. If you are going to get a gift, you are better off just getting one that works and is new.
