Welp. I guess mine will be going back automatically. Itās slated to arrive on Monday.
FWIW, hereās the CPU performance difference between the two:

@lioncow or @notmatty ā maybe lock the sale until the specs can be fixed? Iām only a VMod, yāknow.

Yup. Needless to say, I am irked. Hopefully they can cancel any more sales that come through until the listing gets pulled.

Still waiting to hear back from customer service. Listing is still up too, so guessing staff is slamming motherās day brunch mimosaās. Hangover and regret Monday incoming.

I ordered 2 of these and received the incorrect model as well. The six core i5 was swapped for a dual-core celeron and the 8 gigs of ram was cut down to 4. Itās surprising that a large company like Amazon is pulling what appears to be a bait and switch. If reading the previous customer post is correct, it seems that this is a semi-regular occurrence when ordering computers. I contacted customer service to see about exchanging them for the correct model but I am wondering if the listed model was ever available or if it was always a scam.

Does anyone actually like the Celeron line? I personally do not. Maybe thatās why they are swapped in, they canāt get rid of themā¦

Yup, second time this happened to me. At least with the laptop I bought last month it was still an I series, but not the i7 they indicated. It was also not the correct memory nor SSD.
This time Celeron is really far off from the description. Not even remotely similar.

Just got the response from customer service with a forwarded UPS return label. I replied requesting they reissue the coupon as well. Lets see if that worksā¦

I am awaiting the CS response but if its just a generic, return the item, I am going to just file a complaint for false advertising with the FTC. Its one of the things they investigate. Will it do anything? Who knows but it seems like a common enough practice with woot that it cant just be oversight and it also seems that all the mistakes are massive down grades. They arent accidentally sending people i5s instead of celerons.

Judging from the sales stats more than five have been sold, so either there are some that went out ok or people didnāt notice.

Well, I am east coast and got it yesterday. If I recall correctly they are shipping from NJ. Many likely havenāt arrived yet. I know one was mentioned on here as due to deliver tomorrow.

Give me a few days and I could coach it up to identifying as an i9!

Hey, Woot Staff,
To save all your customers (and yourselves!) time and money, could someone check w/ fulfillment and make sure the specs on the PC match what is advertised before you ship any more? If these are all Celerons and not the i5 that was listed, I donāt want to deal with the hassle of returning this.

Well, at least someone finally pulled it from sale. No answer from customer service on reissue of the happy hour coupon.

Still pretty ridiculous that this appears to be such a common occurrence on Woot now. If you google it, there are a ton of people complaining that they bought a pc or laptop off Woot and got a completely different model and itās always a massive downgrade.
Still no word from CS.

Welp, they cancelled my order before shipment, so I wonāt have to deal with the hassle of return. Thatās a winā¦I guess. 
Cāmon Woot, you used to be coolā¦
