The LCD screen on my Dell went out, so I called Dell to order a new one, they want $400.00 for it. I was pondering buying a whole new laptop, then I called a small mom and pop computer repair store. $275.00 to check my laptop to make sure it is the screen that is the problem, buy the screen, and install it.

Dell tried to assrape me. roll eyes (sarcastic)

Strangelove
Mine did not, because I don't have one.

Rogue Jedi
I should have known Dell would do that.

Strangelove
When I get a new computer it will not be a Dell no2

Rogue Jedi
I was thinking that too. I am gonna get a Toshiba, more durable.

Röland
Actually, Dell didn't try to assrape you at all, $400 for an LCD is normal pricing.

So, unless your laptop is still under warranty and they are asking you for $400, you shouldn't ***** to much about it.

In fact, you shouldn't have bought a shitty Dell in the first place. If you want a new, decent system, laptop you're going to pay more for it then the screen replacement, even if you have luck at the Mom & Pop store.

All Dell's I've seen have been terrible. Constant crashing, hardware failure, etc.

Very true for the most part. I helped shoot and edit a recent story we did called 'Testing The Techs,' where we went to five different stores in Las Vegas to have them diagnose what was wrong with out computer. All we did was have a Tech from UNLV disconnect the IDE cable. Only one out of the five told us the exact problem. Three of the five told us we needed a new hard drive. BestBuy was the worst. Not only did they tell us we needed a new hard drive, but they suggested we buy a new computer, and all that was wrong was a cable needed to be pushed back in. Effing crazy.

I like dell's so far gives me the best results. I had an HP, was over 2 grand at best buy. sucked. Didn't like it. erm

Rogue Jedi
my buddy from louisiana is coming into town tomorrow, and he is a tech head of some sorts. he is gonna look at it for me and try to fix it for free. shifty

§P0oONY
Never get an Acer/Gateway laptop... I've had to replace my power cord roughly once a month since I got the damn thing... It's a joke, they just stop working, even if you don't touch the cable.

Röland

Rogue Jedi
if my bud cant fix it, I am gonna have the screen replaced on the dell. if that doesnt work, hello Toshiba.

what is it about Gateway that sucks so much?

From my experiences, it was mainly faulty hardware. Oh and Tech Support was horrible.

§P0oONY
Power cord and the fact that it's generally spec-less (but that's not Gateway's fault.)

Rogue Jedi
whose fault is it then? the underwear gnomes?

I have grown to actually quite like the Mac, I've been using my mates Mac Book Pro for a while and to be honest Leopard is a fantastic OS. I just don't like the mouse and keyboard differences though... They seem pointless and unnecessary.

Rogue Jedi
I GOTTA have a mouse, I HATE the touchpads.

It's an operating system (think Windows, if you don't know the term). It is free, got lots of software and an excellent community.

RJ,


There is a badass video out there on Vista Aero (3d translucent apps) and Linux Ubuntu. Dude, Ubuntu is awesome!

Right now, I am studying for the security+....then it is the Linux+...I can't wait because it is an excuse to play around with Linux OSs.

anyway, congrats
