Update: Customer service offered a full refund although they will never replace my laptop or all of its contents and work, at least I get the price I paid. They were very professional and understanding. This is a tough lesson, but judging by other reviews, my device was just plain buggy and deadly to my laptop. They also assured me that I was the first and only customer with this problem. I'm just very unlucky.
