I got a new one.
My laptop has been broken for quite sometime. I am not sure what did it. While it was closed just before it broke, Lil Tony spilled some water on it. Since it was closed I don’t think any seeped inside but a day or too later I got the “”ooops you screwed something up” blue screen.
We bought the laptop at Best Buy right around Mother’s Day so it has not been a year and we have a 1 yr manufacturer’s warrenty. The only Best Buy around is near Tony’s work which is also near the airport. So when took Nicki to the airport, Tony dropped me off and headed to Best Buy. It usually takes me at least an hour and a half to get her on the plane so he had some time.
When I talked to him while I was waiting for Nicki’s plane to take off, he was on his way back to the airport. He told me that he had to leave my laptop at Best Buy so they could figure out what was wrong. I believed him.
He came to pick me up and just after getting in to the car I noticed a laptop box. Now I know we didn’t bring the laptop to Best Buy in a box so I asked Tony why we had the box. He said it was supposed to be a surprise. He told me that they could have sent the laptop back to the manufacturer but if they found any rough usage then they wouldn’t replace it. Since Lil Tony had plucked all the keys off at one point and spilled water on it we decided we did not want to do that.
The guy at Best Buy was awesome, he said that we could just get a replacement but the did not have the same model in stock the only ones they had were about $30 more expensive and we would just have to pay that difference. Tony th0ught, why not. Well I am so happy he did because my new laptop is SO MUCH better than my other one. I have a netbook so the screen is a little small but the new laptop has a bigger screen, it went from a 9″ screen to a 10.1″ screen. It also has a glossy screen and not the matte one. It also has an LED backlight which gives it a brighter contrast. The keyboard also has bigger, maybe even full size keys and the arm rest area is bigger. All in all my new laptop is AWESOME.
What I will want to get is some free online backup. I don’t know much about computers but what I do know is me and computers have a love/hate relationship. I seem to break them easily and max out the memory or get a virus. I was really bummed not having my own computer. I really want to take care of this new laptop and not be without it again.
