see this is why Dell sucks! sorry but they do. I fix computers and I see more dells then any other computer
I have had an eMachines laptop for 2 1/2 years and they only hardware problem I have had was when my four-year-old wrenched the screen up and tore out the left hand hinge. My Best Buy warranty took care of that.
The only software problem I had was when I upgraded to Windows XP service pack 2. I had to get some new drivers from eMachines to fix the screwiness that caused.
My Best Buy warranty got me a new battery. All I had to do is call and tell them that my battery was dead, and they mailed me a new one without even looking at my battery. Lithium ion batteries cost between $100-$150.
I have a Toshiba Satellite notebook pc, and I've had to send it in to Best Buy three times because their is a defect in the heating element with my model. Last time I sent it in, they informed me that next time I send it in to be sure and save all the files I may need because I won't get that computer back. They will send me a brand new computer!
That 3 year warranty has really paid off.
BTW, if you order your computer online or via phone or magazine, ask about student discounts because almost every computer company gives a 10% discount to college students. That goes for iPods too.
yes and apple is even considering more of a discount. It pays to be a rep haha
Jen, I'm in the market for a lap-top on the cheap. I've got a mac at home, but some of my class stuff needs microsoft...plus, I'd like to take my lap-top to class (I type much faster than I write). So, what would you get if you were planning on spending roughly a grand. Thanks.
