  1. Re:My Dell Laptop has never been abused... by homer_ca · · Score: 1 · on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware?

    Few years ago I had a fall off the motorcycle with a Dell CPI laptop in the backpack. No real padding, just wrapped in a sweater. It still worked fine, but the rear bezel was smashed in. It was an $8 part so no big deal. Bought a new bezel. Later that year, the hard drive crashed and got it replaced under warranty. Gee Dell, I have *no* idea how that could've happened. :-)

    The lesson is, don't leave home without your padded case. Mobilecomputing had a good review of them here, drop tests and all.

    Still, those Dell CP cases had some pretty flimsy LCD hinges. Always feel creaky and wobbly, and I always try to treat them delicately.

  6. Here's a review of a different ASUS laptop by grimarr · · Score: 1 · on What Do You Think of ASUS Laptops?

    The September 2001 issue of Mobile Computing and Communications had this article, that included a review of a different ASUS laptop.

    In August, I bought my wife an HP Pavillion N7540 (I think that's the right model #), with 15 inch screen, 1 GHz Athlon, and combo DVD/CDRW drive. Under $1800 total. She loves it, and I'm envious....
