It just goes to show you can't generalise about these things. We have an inspiron 8200 still going strong and my son was skeptical that the ipod classic that we bought our daughter would last long since his friends had had experiences. Her ipod is going strong, his MP3player is pretty useless now and he's going to buy the ipod classic he warned us about.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nick Collins To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 2:52 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Any Developers on a Mac?
I've had the same problems with PCs though. I have a Dell Inspiron that has had to have the screen replaced twice, the keyboard replaced twice because it just stopped working, the video card replaced, and the motherboard replaced under warranty. It literally is almost a completely new laptop from when I first bought it. On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 5:41 AM, Weyert de Boer <[email protected]> wrote: Wow. Currently, each notebook I have had from Apple needed fixes via warranty. My G4 got is screen replaced and the MBP is still a big drama with two topcase replacements, two screens and keyboard key fix. Basically it needs to a new warranty because the last time they broke the keyboard lightning and the topcase is falling apart again while it hasn't even travelled since the last fix. Terrible :(
