You know I'm so fucking surprised at how many people have their laptops fuck up or die over such short periods of times.

I have a fuckin 3-4 year old dell laptop, and it's never fucked up, and runs just as good as the day I bought it, minus a few scratches and other cosmetic damages.

the fact is, most people treat their laptops like SHIT.

laptops are fucking DELICATE COMPUTERS. you don't use it on your couch or your bed, where it's full of dust and of course this totally blocks off all the vents.

try not to move your fucking laptop around when it's ON. i mean c'mon it's common knowledge that your hard disks shouldnt be MOVED when they're ON.

people treat their laptops like the military would treat theirs, which ISNT very hard. and of course they break down. the diff is military laptops are designed to be treated like fuckin work laptop. moving on the go, putting in your bag on the go and maybe treating it slightly rougher.

I can't stress the fact that your laptop is NOT a MOBILE computer. it's just a small one, that can be brought with you place to place, then SET DOWN and used, like a desktop. then packed up and moved again.

it is not your PDA, it is not your cellphone, there are moving parts, you need airflow, you need to keep it cool, you need to undust it once in a while, you need to clean it.

I don't get how people expect their laptops to last when they treat it like shit. if you don't baby it and take care of it, it ain't gonna take care of you.

but of course for manufacturer's defects, that's totally different. i'm just talking about general everyday use.

I'm still so shocked when i see people leave their laptops on, on weird unstable angles, on their couches, carpets, beds, or whatever, and they just leave it there all fuckin day and night with all the vents covered. if laptops had feelings, 90% of them would be depressed. hah.
