The same laptop as this guy:

It was in the shop (via FedEx) 50% of the
first year, forcing me to buy CompUSA's
extended warranty (which is insurance handled
by a chain of third parties). Right after
that first year, they removed any trace
that they ever made computers from thier
web site.
Replaced:
Screen twice (bad pixels)
CPU twice
Power module twice
Motherboad three times
Battery twice
The fundamental problem with laptops is
you can't replace only a part of it yourself
with another manufacturer's part if you
think the design is flawed.
In the end of the day, it was a bad power
module that got so hot it fried everything.
I never got my money back and my warranty
expired leaving me with a bad laptop and
no support.
