Graphics card paid for but not installed

So, after four years of using my computer, I just found out that the graphics card I paid for was never actually installed. Turns out, I’ve been running on something attached to the “dedicated motherboard” this whole time—who knew?

When I called Dell today, their response was basically: Oops, yeah, that was never installed. But the warranty is over, and you should have checked inside the computer when you got it. Want to buy another one?

Guess I missed the memo that, in addition to purchasing a system, I should have also conducted a full hardware inspection—without voiding the warranty, of course. Good to know!

Now I’m wondering if I should return the two laptops I just bought, since I’m clearly not qualified to verify whether what I paid for is actually in the computer.
