Death of a laptop
As they say -- all good things must come to an end.
My beat-up laptop, a Compaq Presario 2814AP, which turned four in September, gave up on me on October 16th. I'm now living like a nomad; nothing but Gmail on-the-go, and lots of Google Reader on my mobile.
The HP service centre in KL gave me a quotation for RM2,800+ to get it fixed. My motherboard and ATI Radeon graphics card is busted, or so they say for an RM95 fee! For that price, it looks like I'll be taking my money elsewhere this time -- hopefully something with a built-in webcam and mic. The Dell XPS M1210 and Macbook Pro are top on the list.
