[nabs-l] Questions About Getting New Laptop

[Rania Ismail CMT]

I didn't have a good experience with dell either!
I delt with having the hard drive, the docking station, and the motherboard
replaced over and over again! The hard drive crashed on me when I was in the
middle of a project for school!
The entire system was replaced after a year but again the same thing
happened! I switched to HP and I am so much happier!
Rania,

Maybe,
but I have had terrible experiences with Dell.
My last Dell gave me a blue screen of death after like 16 months, every time
I logged into my account at random intervals with XP.

money on a high end laptop when you only need it for basic purposes as
opposed to, say, audio or video production, etc. is not the wisest idea. The
portability of a laptop is also key if you'll be traveling with it a lot.
Some of the higher end laptops are bigger and bulkier, because it's
technically impossible to fit all the overglamourousbells and wistles into a
smaller unit. That being said, smaller units, (13-inch - 14-inch laptops)
can be very fastand stable as well. I don't mean  this about netbooks, by
the way. Those clearly have slower processors, as you probably know, and are
more suitable as a backup computer.

hosed on their laptops, actually. Although I will agree with whoever said
that Sony is overpriced.

interested in a refurbished one? Going the refurbished rout is usually much
cheaper, but still almost just as safe because the refurbished units have
been serviced by the manufacturer right before they're sold and are in
like-new working order.

compatible laptop that I'm not using at all because I have a few other
computers on hand; I wouldn't mind selling it if you're interested. I am
fully aware that this list isn't one for sales pitches,and I'm not trying to
use it as such--Just something that popped into mind. If you're interested
and want more info on it, feel free to write me off-list at
