It was a thought. I think some laptops use a "smaller" IDE type cable. I am guessing too much pressure on the HD are causing the pins to misalign or something.

Either way, this is not something that I caused... I'm hoping they will just send me a new laptop for my troubles and I can have it by Wednesday when I'm going out of town :cry:
 
Yeah... they "can't" send me a new one either. So they gave me another flippin service request number and a fed ex pickup (had to argue to get the shipping covered).

I may just sell this one for super cheap (fully disclosing what it's been through too) when I get it back so I can move on to a different computer. :ponder:

0 problems with our Vaio.
 
Have you (or anyone reading this for that matter :laugh:) heard anything about netbooks? I am intrigued by there portability and battery life. I mainly use my laptop for internet and light picture editing. Even if they aren't super fast, they could get what I want done and I could always use my desktop for the rest. :)

For example; A cheaper one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220443
A more expensive one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220385

I think I like the cheaper one better, just throw another Gig of ram in there

Yup. The MIS guys say they are actually really nice. They ordered some of them for department heads and they thought they were good machines. I was shocked buy it. I will see what they think are good models....I think they bought the Asus ones.
