Laptop: Repair or Replace

**Freedom** · 08-13-2010, 05:38 PM

Today I took the laptop in to a new store, Ultimate Electronics. They will do a review and optimize for $30 (everywhere else wanted $70 and up!)

Not a thing wrong with this laptop; just needs memory.

So I had them put in the max. WOO HOO this thing is humming!

AND, if I find the memory cards on line for less (which I am sure I can do), they will refund me the difference. If I had waited and bought it on line, I'd have had to put it in myself. Not difficult, just a nuisance to do, finding the right size screwdriver here at home, making sure I don't mess anything up inside. WIN WIN!!

I don't know WHY I wait so long to do stuff.

So, from Oct. 9, 2009 until today, it's just been poking along?

Yup and I spent more time on the desktop / tower and less time on this one.

Holy cow!!! If it took this puter 47 minutes to do what you did, I would have an immediate reaction, and that would be to heave it out the door and worry about what to do later. As I get older, my patience wears thinner....

Even dial-up was never that bad. Do people still actually have dial-up?
