But I Love My Laptop

Matilda: Don't people need good cars? Can't you sell good cars, Dad?

When I got my laptop (HP tx1000z) I had it customized just the way I wanted it. I decided that I wasn’t going to be one of those silly people who replaces their laptop every couple of years. And so I ordered exactly what I wanted, including some fun but expensive options, spending lots of $.

After about 5 months it was really screwing up. I don’t remember exactly what was wrong but I blamed myself (I still think it was me) and reformatted my computer. That fixed it and I’ve not had any problems until...

Now it’s been nearly 2 years and suddenly I can’t use wireless internet anymore. Hot Cup and I (mostly Hot Cup because he speaks computer) have been trying to figure it out and there are a lot of complaints in online forums about it, and even a website dedicated to this specific defect. Apparently it’s the hardware and eventually my laptop won’t be working at all. I can connect with a cable or use a USB WiFi card for now, but it looks like other stuff will start to go bad too and my computer will die :(

This and my camera. I am not having very good luck here. Big difference between this and my camera though. The next camera I buy will probably be another Canon. But I'm not very happy with HP about my laptop. They really screwed me.

Funny ad placement again. Haha.
