My home built desktop is running like a top after four years, and running Vista - the bastard OS!<br /><br />My primary home laptop is an old, retired work Dell D610 - battery still lasts over an hour on a charge, runs Ubuntu great, and does what we need for basic browsing. If I need more power, the desktop is the go to machine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937011379513270650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566606152366187003.post-33064881587647215372012-11-29T04:46:19.107-05:002012-11-29T04:46:19.107-05:00my lapper is almost 4 yrs old and has had minor sc...my lapper is almost 4 yrs old and has had minor screen problems... turns out to be a wire with iffy connection... fixed myself... warranty was done after 1 yr.... btw, it's an Acer Aspire 6930 bought from Walmart (of all places)Go Pack Go!thahammabobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215831317417098358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566606152366187003.post-16522550691357791132012-11-28T23:11:32.297-05:002012-11-28T23:11:32.297-05:00Get a mac.

I was fed up with the constant updating, anti-virus software, slow performance and replacing a laptop every couple years. I bought a MacBook for 3X the cost of a dell, it still works great and has been relegated to the 9yo for "school work" ie. MineCraft. I've since bought a MacBook Pro and two iMacs and love the hassle-free performance. I think it will perform very well for your needs, bite the bullet and use some of Jimmy's winnings to upgrade!Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02246559558597050623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566606152366187003.post-25827904368217688582012-11-28T20:05:59.232-05:002012-11-28T20:05:59.232-05:00Absolutely 100% the correct call.

If you're looking for a place to recycle the "old" machine, Dell and Goodwill have teamed up to accept any kind of computer and several different types of peripherals for donation/recycling.

Plus take your hard drive out of the current laptop and buy a hard drive enclosure for about $20-$30(tigerdirect.com, amazon, best buy) then you'll have your data, programs, etc to move to the new one. After you move your data you can use the external as a backup! Recycle - recycle - recycle! Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05184931955447151749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566606152366187003.post-36872472792702118132012-11-28T12:43:00.756-05:002012-11-28T12:43:00.756-05:00I can help you out with that repair if you are so ...I can help you out with that repair if you are so inclined. It would just be the cost of the screen and about $50 in labor. No data would be touched. Get in touch with me if you are interested. jzell@sourceonecomputer.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
