Love my Sony Vaio.  Have had it for 2 yrs.  It is a good solid system and puts up with a boat load of abuse.  It has been knocked off wings, sat on, had beer spilton it/ in it, gotten wet, and been hit with a flying rivet set and it still keeps on trucking.  The only complaint I have is the batteries are starting to suck pole for longevity.

ASUS look really nice.

i was also considering getting a pc tablet down the way sometime, but i am not sure if it would hinder or enhance.  jury still out on that one.

the beauty of it all is this.

i find myself typing this while looking at these horrible cracks across my screen and a true distain for plug and play's or any unit that attaches and holds me down...even a monitor is too heavy and it suddenly occurs to me where i am.

i cant put her down or stop the work that i am doing because it's too important to me and i dont want to quit.

a part of me is in this broken system that i just have to access.  just a work around it until i can afford not to again.

but i am not paying another 500 for a monitor.  hell no.

ill buy another unit.  

but this time, im shopping for perfection, precision and beauty.  strong, dependable and sleek.
fast as hell.  sweet as peaches.

i'll pay what it takes.

loyal.

**** dell.

dell sucks.

88, you do realize that Dell uses local contractors for their warranty repairs, right?

This means the guy gets paid when he fixes your unit and you sign off as satisfied.

Call Dell, rather than use chat. Describe symptoms that reflect a failing screen. If you're still in warranty, they'll dispatch a repair.

The contractor that responds has no incentive to balk when he gets there with the new screen and sees yours is cracked. He has every incentive to just replace it, scrap the old part, and collect his fee.

I realize this isn't a model for honest behavior, but I wouldn't suggest it if it didn't sound as if you deserve the repair and the reps you've approached aren't doing what's right.
