I work full time at as a High Speed Data Specialist. I do tech support for Charter Communications. I have seen some of you here that use charter. If your on the east side of the US and you call tech support you man get me. Plus I got to college full time. I Just stated. No help from my parents on this notebook. Im a working boy but I which they would give me money.

Now I just have to wait for it to come in.

And the wait is the hardest part.

slacker, love the little figures under your name . I still didnt even order tha laptop. I am waiting for the rush to slow down so I can make sure my order has almost no possibility of getting mixed up. Not that pctorque would mess it up, but they r only human (i hope ) and they might make mistakes with such a large quantity of orders.

congrats on the order, and not meaning to get sidetracked but I live in Massachusetts, and this cable has been randomly shutting off and turning itself on after about a minute or 2, it does this quite often now and its been going on and off for about a week now. Im debating whether i should call charter about it or not.

Again sorry to get sidetracked and if this needs deleting i will understand. Hopefully theyll ship on the 15th so i can have mine a week from then. Right around my birthday! Friday the 22, I'll be 19, congrats me

More that likly you have a RF problems (radio frequency) how has you cable tv been. Check channels 1-20. Just give us a call.

Ok back on subject.

8890 OH ya baby

I hope they will ship befor the 16th, witch is my b-day.

1 = noexistant
2-6 = terrible, visual noise makes them barely watchable
7-10 = fine
11 = not as bad as 6-10
12 = okay
13-20 = minimal noise.

The thing is the cable to our big screen in the living room is flawless, I can't even watch TechTv in my room because I can just so slightly make out the picture.

Add another one to the list

1 year standard warranty

I see that a lot of guys feel good about 1 year standard warranty.

Is that wise, considering:
- new motherboard
- new processors
- new 7200 rpm disks
- new ATI 9600

Or am I just a bit of a weasel here?

I find it funny that people don't invest in an extended warranty when spending THOUSANDS of dollars on ANY product! Let alone considering the MINIMUM cost of repair on a laptop would be around $100 being something as simple as an AC Adapter. INHO $300 or whatever for a 3/4 year warranty on a $3000-4000 product is a necessity.

Its always been my experience that with motherboards, processors and video cards that if the make it past the first couple weeks then they last much longer than that(unless a fan goes bad). As far as the hard drive goes they don't cost too much so if one was to die in the not so distance future I'll just get a new one. So the one year basic warranty works just fine for me.

I worked for a major retailer repairing electronics for multiple years and I have seen every type of problem with every type of product of every brand at every point in a products life cycle imaginable. I think assuming that if a product lasts more than a few weeks is a ludacris statement regarding future reliability. Most people who say such statments are talking about personal products when myself am speaking from experience with a couple thousand notebooks. If you look at this past year's product service/relability rates you'll see consumers with problems with their products at around a 20% rate in the first year; from day 1 all the way up to day 365 not just in the first few weeks. Not to mention products that come DOA. Also, even if you're getting a great deal on a laptop hard drive from pricewatch or wherever there's no way you're going to be able to get a 60GB 7200rpm mobile hd for like $50. You're most likely looking at $200+ and that is enough for a warranty to keep your ENTIRE notebook insured. My opinion about extended warranties is almost the opposite when talking about desktops but we're talking about laptops people....

Components don't come with individual company warranties when purchased through a reseller. They are only warrantied through that company. Also, in the last year I've seen over 25 mobo failures from brand new $3000 Alienwares to 10 year old packard bells. Any problem can occur at any time.
