I had video card failure in my Dell after 2 yrs burnt out new one in 3 months. Didn't care to play current issues so I bought a gateway fx and haven't had a problem.

ALL laptops are "known to have screen issues"

CCF failure
CCF "inverter" powersupply issues
Cable fatigue from flexing the video cable every time it is opened or closed....

Laptops are designed to be used for 2-3 years then discarded.

Nature of the beast.

I always tell friends n family buy a pc... You can upgrade later alot easier... But no. They wanna carry it around places... That's why I got an iphone4....

I am a firm believer in laptops, provided the laptop is "in addition to" rather than "instead of" a desktop computer.

Many people think they can get by with only a notebook

I happen to know that having a computer with only ONE hard drive is a good way to lose everything.
And when that one hard drive dies that's what happens...

fleix6lewis,

Start a new topic

tell us about the specifics of your computer (make and Model) and your operating system
(Not just "XP, Vista or Win7 but which version...)
