If you get a new laptop, get a X1 carbon. It's linux-friendly, light and has a really good keyboard.
I am with you on this one, but bear in mind, the technician who is supposed to replace your display possibly only knows the part numbers instead of their specs. I faced a similar situation too (some years back) - I own a Sony Vaio and my display had some issues too. Basically, under the hood, the display is either an LG or a SAMSUNG if your laptop is by a good brand (LG/SAMSUNG makes the best displays, Apple, Sony, e…

Not to be "that guy", but you mean "loaner" as in "something on loan", rather than "loner", which is "someone that prefers to be alone." Having just come back from a conference where I was humbled by the other delegates' ability to speak English, I was hesitating to offer corrections. However, I was told in no uncertain terms that they wanted to improve, so provided it didn't interrupt flow, I offered corrections. I…
Definately! More folks should loose there inhabitions and speak up. If noone points out grammer and spelling errors, than how will people ever learn? I think your a saint, its really grate that you took the time to right this down. Thanks alot. Also: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling
Obvservation: there are people - like myself - who don't read phonetically. Spelling such as in your (clearly ironic) reply just serve to slow my reading and make it less likely that I'll care about what you say. If it's your intention deliberately to alienate a portion of your possible audience, then by all means use whatever spelling you like.
This will degenerate into the usual pointless debate, so just let me assert that I'm not a grammar nazi, and I don't claim there is "one true language". I simply offer the point of view that some spellings will make your writing less effective for some of your possible audience.
> In conclusion: don’t EVER send your laptop to a Dell lab. Simpler: Don't buy Dell. I thought this was common knowledge.
Sounds miserable. If they'd give you a loaner for the duration it'd be a little better. I and others have recently had employees at the Apple store encourage us to utilize their no restocking fee policy to effectively get a "free" loaner laptop while ours were under repair. Maybe Apple should encourage people to do this even when they're having computers from other manufacturers repaired. How often do people end up j…

I owned a Sony Vaio z series. Support was the worst I've ever faced. Their faulty hinges broke and I had to send it in for a 400 dollar, 3 month long repair. Not recommended.

They had better internal cabling than the competition, and have been leveraging 1999 since then.

Yup thanks! Just a pre-coffee brain fart.
