Best Buy accused of stripping RAM from Lenovo Legion 5 during warranty repair

Reddit user alleges Best Buy repaired a Lenovo Legion 5 by removing the second 32GB RAM module, cutting total memory from 64GB to 32GB; the shop allegedly documented that the laptop only supports up to 32GB and that the removed RAM was returned with the device (worth over $600). The owner says the laptop was listed/sold with 64GB and hadn’t been modified by them. The case has sparked discussions about escalation with Best Buy, with rumors about the “Upgraded” listing and potential third-party installation. The laptop runs an i9-14900HX, RTX 5070, 2TB SSD, and Windows 11 Pro.
