Laptop's buggered.

Which one, mate?

just bought myself one of those new netbooks with a ten hour battery, looking forward to testing that out on the plane!

Which one, senor horse?

I picked up the ASUS Eee PC for my trip to London and so far I'm quite please with it. It came with Skype which I've used to chat with senors NicWing and Robusto.

Who'd of thought you could do this from my beloved State of Mind, Mexico, Swine Flu free since the 1960s!

Names TJ, TJCoro (cough, cough), and does anyone else feel warm?

Is the offer still going Boss?? Dell know my warrenty runs out on the 28th so I am thinking thats why they have not picked up the computer to replace the hard drive??

Yes, of course. As you know I pass your door quite often.

Ah thats good to hear Robusto. I know 3 others who bought it too.

Dale, it's been the best bang for buck since Christmas. You really can't go wrong for that price imo. Bloody good spec for the money, and for the outlay, you can always upgrade in a couple of years without feeling you've thrown money away.

I recommended this one to a mate after you made it your Thought For The Day on Facebook once. He thinks it's brilliant.

[Boss Hog]

Sold......order going in.

Sick of waiting for Dell to pick this one up to replace the hard Drive..

Heh I don't think he means you're actually new to here.

I never touch laptops much, but if you've checked connections like boss hog has suggested, try buying a replacement screen on ebay. I stepped on my Vaio last year and got one off ebay for a relatively small amount, and easily replaced it myself.

Alternatively, there's very attractive deals going around at the mo, with this one at the top of my list for budget buyers:

http://www.dixons.co.uk/ (can't link directly as the stupid site makes everything session based) Dell 1545 (black at ?399) Product code: 859916.

Been looking at replacing my Dell with that one...do you rate it then Deano...

Any thought Boss??

[Jithell]

Sounds like swine flu to me, oink

[nicwing]

[TJCoro]

You don't say...

Heh I don't think he means you're actually new to here.
.

Been here since February 20, huh. Let me see... 8 days in Feburary, March, and part of April...WOW!!! That IS A long Time!*

Names TJ, TJCoro, and 350 posts in the new 500, and 2+ months is now a long time!
