Am not available for a couple of days, since my computer committed a suicide. Will have to take him to a doctor or whatever. If I ever find a person who makes viruses, will kill them.

Fuckers!

If you need to contact me, call me, or leave a reply here, I can read my LJ from work (that's a blessing...).

Anyway... Am still thinking about a lappie, so any advice is good. Am I insane if I buy a Hewlett Packard? I think I remember someone saying nasty things about them...

Oh, bum.

I haven't had bad experiences with HPs. At any rate, those should be better than any pile of obscure junk the boys at Musta Porssi threw together for a bargain.

Just repeat this mantra to yourself: "More HD space means more space for porn."

*cuddles*

the only advice i can give you on laptops is
do NOT buy at a discount store
you might safe a few $ BUT the service SUCKS ARSE.
I recently bought an expensive printer. It stopped working after a month.
They did send it in. That was two weeks ago an dof course no one at mediamarkt is responsible.
WIll never buy there again.

other usefull? advice...
make sure you have enough usb ports and that said usb port are usb2.
Do check the screen carefully, tis the first thing that usually breaks. If even one pixel is out, do not buy, it spreads.
mmh, i fyou have questions, feel free to bother me...

Also, HP reminds me of Harry Potter, so it would be worth the giggles...

Oh damn. *pets poor computer* Unfortunately, I haven't got any advice on HP or any other label. I don't care if it says Atria as long as it works.

Meanwhile, I think we should meet one day so I could get my t-shirts and we could babble about things?

I'm still on vacation (only one more week, snif) so anytime is fine with me.

Mouse (this dumb thing suddenly wants me to sign in again?)

The FUCK?

Oh well. At least now I can stop chewing my nails and wailing 'SHE DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMOREEEEEEEEEEEE!' at the top of my lungs. That's good. Twas scaring the dog :)

Anyway... With regards to HP, same reply as the question about Celeron Processors :) It's the old story. They used to be good but then they got bought out by someone and went to crap.

For what it's worth, I would recommend getting a Toshiba. The Japanese may have lost the war but they make damn fine electronics. I've had three Toshibas so far and they were all wonderful.

Durable too. Customs got a hold of my first one and tossed it around. I was sure it was a goner. But it still works fine.

The couple of times I've tried other brands, the laptops have been duds.

LOL

Sorry I didn't send you a message... Am about to rip off my hair right now. I hate my computer! Grrr!

No Toshis here, so will have to buy a HP. Heh. Mebbe I'll go to the shop and ask if they have a Snape and see if they'll get the joke... Or something.

HEY! Snape would make an EXCELLENT laptop! He's smart, competent and no virus would DARE invade him :D

So what brands *do* you have to choose from?

Well, personally, I wouldn't buy a HP, but my experience with them is limited. The one Mum has sucks, but some other models might be alright. 40MB is pretty limited when it comes to hard drives, but if you'll continue to have another computer, and mainly use the laptop for entertaining yourself when at work, it should be enough. And of course you can buy an external hard drive, if you need it later.

Happy?
