Lasty Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 It's just a matter of time until it craps out. It wouldn't turn on just now and once in a while the screen doesn't work at all even though it is on. I miss having a tower, man... <,<;
André Toulon Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 This is funny because my current laptop is almost 10 years old and I'm still using it because an idiot told me laptops have a 3-5 year life span without modifications. A lie, I said. I only have to keep it 1 year and 6 months to fulfill my internal bet of a full decade. The dvd tray fell out and is super glued in place, the HD falls out, the keyboard is shit, and the screen suffers from extreme flicker, but it's still kicking. Oh and I had to take it apart because the fan was attacking the MB. I have 2 other laptops and a tower, but I am literally going to use that one until it falls apart just to prove that with proper care, a laptop isn't a less than 5 year investment

AstroCreep Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 It may make more sense to apply your effort towards not dropping stuff, instead of buying things that are too big and bulky to carry around. I'm just saying. 2
scoobdog Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 I've never had a Powerbook / MacBook last less than 5 years. But, i also do my own repairs at home.

I've had my MacBook Air since they first came out, and must admit, I've dropped mine multiple times. On the cement, even. The left rear corner is all bashed in, the seam between the body panels widened out. Pretty bad, but, it still runs. Basically just as fast as it did the day I bought it.
scoobdog Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 My big problem with the Air and the ensuing MBPs is that everything is glued. I'm holding on to this laptop for as long as humanly possible because it still uses screws and I can get it up and running by myself in a day.

Better yet, I'll just link one of his videos. TL/YT;DW summery. Cheap parts, deny problem, blame user, offer shitty warranty that acts as a loop hole. Edited June 16, 2018 by Sieg67

I'm just saying. Yeah, smart phones don't play very good video games, though. I mean, there are emulators for stuff like Pokemon, but I need my Fallout fix.
