Wife dropped a laptop. Not very happy

[FM2n]

No, but it would have looked so much cooler when it hit the ground.

Bathroom tested, Wifey Approved.

be happy, now you have the 600 dollar poop card in your pocket.

 

[RoloMather]

Because she needed it for work, and not for sitting in a Starbucks and browsing the web.

owned

 

[BurnItDwn]

[NFS4]

On a completely unrelated note, is "FFFUUUUUUU" supposed to be be FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK?

 

[Hacp]

And you got her an XPS instead of a thinkpad because?????

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

Actually never experienced that, and she uses it quite a lot for work.

probably cuz u have the intel video chip instead of the nvidia one.

Women do this. They're worse than infants. They need to prove themselves wrong or they forever live in a realm of ignorance.

See how much they will charge you for repair...or you could order parts from them and repair it yourself.

I had a friend drop his dell in college. Some how the video card in the dead center of the inner working of the laptop came unseated. Nothing else damaged on the laptop, no cracks on the assembly, no broken hinges.

Paid me $100 to crack open the thing and reseat the vid card and get it working again. Once the card was reseated, the Dell worked like a charm...

Why would you take a laptop to the bathroom with you? Why would you read in the bathroom? Can't spare a couple of minutes?

Sphincter relaxation.

 

[Leros]

I take my laptop in the bathroom all the time. I've never dropped it.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I've always found it gross to use electronics in a bathroom. You are in a situation where you need to wash your hands before touching anything yet playing with a laptop. Gross! Guess I'm just a germaphobe, from working in a hospital where I sanitize my hands a million times a day. 😀

Next time buy the accidental warranty? Sure, it's $200 or so extra, but then you're covered when things like this happen. No $600 repair fee. You're lucky the screen didn't break.

My gf (Seru Wolf here) in two months time spilled soda onto my $100 extended battery. It was dead before I even could go to pick it up. Dropped my Touch Pro on concrete (bee landed on her.. To her credit she's deathly allergic). Phone survived with no cracks on the screen but definitely dented it up. She also ran her bluetooth headset through the washing machine. It survived but was a little messed up and was just recently replaced (5 months later). She lastly lost her iTouch (someone nice soul turned it in to her school). It was gone for 3 days.

Once she realised she had to pay for replacements for all that stuff, she was much more careful. I think some people still need to learn the value of a dollar so that they can either learn to prioritize what to spend money on, or to take better care of the expensive stuff.

There is no point crying over a little thing that can easily fix or replace, and be glad that you still have a wife.

One of these day you come home from work and find your belonging out on the lawn if you keep up the anger and criticism.

Well, that came out of nowhere.

lol.

what wife needs a $1,800 laptop?

 

[Numenorean]

So how does she plan to raise the money to pay for fixing it?

Sex. It will simply be withheld until the laptop is fixed. And two further weeks after that, just to prove a point.

Haha, to prove a point - so true.

You wash your hands after you wipe, it's not like your hands are getting dirty during the act which is when one would be using the laptop. I suppose as long as the hands are washed prior to once again touching the laptop, what's the big deal? It's not getting dirty.

Yeah, I call shens on the price of the laptop as well as price of the repair.

An M1330 straight from Dell loaded to the brim (C2Duo 2.2 Ghz, 250 GB HDD, 4 GB of RAM) is only $884. Unless he upgraded it to a T9300, it would barely break the 1 grand mark.

And 500 bucks for repair for a cracked case and hinges?

Oh wait, revised to 200 right?

 

[RbSX]

I prefer to fix cars and things around the house. Laptops - I'll leave it to the techs at Dell.

Then don't bitch about having to shell out 500 bucks if you can't be bothered to fix it.

It's a choice that you made, when it's relatively simple to fix.

Your wife poops? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
