Douggy B 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Basically I break a laptop every five minutes and I have just done another one. My last one was HP and was nothing but bother from the fucking start. Flimsy piece of shit. I am now looking for another one, even reconditioned will do. As long as its a decent spec and most importantly DIRT CHEAP. Any suggested outlets? Edited March 24, 2009 by Danny B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Flintoff 0 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Danny try the Dell outlet (http://www.dell.co.uk/outlet) they normally have some decent shit on there. Just bought a top-notch desktop for £230 so you can probably pick up a decent laptop and, despite what most people say, Dell are very good kit.

Renton 17845 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Lap tops are comparatively cheap as chips now in any case. The last one I bought was about 4 years ago and cost £1200. It'd be less than £400 now with comparatively better specs too. I've never had a lap top break on me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Laptops cost about $ 60 to make in Malaysia and China and $ 50 in Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Danny B must be coating his laptops like a plasterer's radio to be breaking them so often. Either that, or sitting on them, the fat cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douggy B 0 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 The first one I broke by dropping it down a small flight of stairs. The second I broke by picking it up by the screen whilst drunk The third I spilt cofee on and it went weird This HP one, the Wifi turned itself off after 6 months and wouldnt come back on, then the screen went all flickery and now just wont turn on. As you can see its the manufacturers fault rather than mine. I have just bought a reconditioned toshiba for £180 quid. Bomb proof allegedly. Heres hoping.

My first HP Laptop did exactly the same thing, and although my new HP that I got after claiming for the last one on the insurance hasn't done it yet, I am fully expecting it to do so. If it is out of warranty, you might just still be able to get it fixed for free. HP recognised there was a problem, and sent out a message saying they would fix a few of their laptop models for free if people were having the problem. I will try and find a link to their release...
