Not a good day

Today was not a good day for me. This morning my laptop decided to turn up and absolutely die. I spent about 2 hours online (on another computer) with their "Tech Support" on a chat. Yeah this was with a guy in India. Well after the two hours he finally informs me that the Mother Board has died in the laptop. And oh yeah. The warranty ran out just a couple of months ago. So for the small low, low price of $398.00 (plus tax) they would be more than happy to replace the Mother Board. Like he actually thinks I have over $400.00 to do this. So for now I am sharing my husbands computer. This is the second HP laptop I have had that crashed right after the warranty ran out. As a matter of fact I had a HP service tech which I know tell me that they actually build laptops to only last a little over a year. So for all of you out there thinking about buying a laptop. I would advise you to reconsider. Especially if you are thinking about one from HP their products suck and so does their tech support. Half the time I could not even understand what it was that this guy wanted me to do to my computer. I would have to ask him over and over again exactly what he wanted me to do. So now I have a very expensive door stop!!!
