blaire technology is a microsoft authorized refurbishing company. the hp
elitbook 6930p and the dell latitude e4310 when they were sold they were
not inexpensive machines at all. they were in dell and hp's business and
enterprise stores. so blaire technology group takes 3 to 4 year old high
quality business machines and does a very thorough refurbishing job on
them. Now if this were an inspiron or one of the consumer walmart
machines from dell or hp gotten at walmart then yes the parts would be
cheap and it would not last long. but for the most part blaire resells
business high quality machines.

Hi Josh,
True, but there is a down side to buying cheap computers, and that is
the hardware doesn't last long. I have owned many affordable
e-machines for Windows and Linux, and I am here to say that in the
main the hardware lasts about two years and dies.
I'll give you an example here. The Compaq Presario I am using right
now has had numerous hardware replacements in the five years since I
purchased it from Walmart. First the CD/DVD drive died and needed
replaced, the keyboard stopped working and needed replaced, the power
supply had to be replaced, and now it looks like I am going to have to
get a new case fan for the laptop case. I don't know what cheap parts
Compaq, AKA HP, is using in there budget machines but I have had more
problems with this laptop than I have ever had with a more expensive
system.
the point I am getting at is I know people with Mac's who purchased
their laptop right about the same time I got this Compaq and have had
less troubles with the hardware in that PC than I have had. The
deciding factor is that they paid about $1500 for their laptops and I
paid about $500 for mine. So I do believe you get what you pay for,
and when it comes to reliability Mac's do pay off in less down time.
Cheers!
