How old is it?

Remember the sale of goods act gives you more than just the
manufacturers warranty so you may be able to get a *free* repair
for a number of years. If, however, it was so cheap you couldn't
reasonably expect it to last very long then you may be on a hiding
to nothing.

Most of the £399 laptops are assembled by chimpanzees in coutries
where it is not illegal to train such members of the animal kingdom
and pay them by feeding them occasionally.

I tell my customers this, but they still go out and buy this garbage
instead of my Thinkpads and Toshes.

My Thinkpad was only £399, new, from a high street store. IBM sold the
brand to Lenovo, and guess where they are made ;-)

So that on leaves HP and Dell. I have 3 Toshes and they are all excellent.
But then, I don't spend my time pulling the mains lead in and out of them.If
I did........................who knows!
