My Dell laptop is right at two years old and is starting to disintegrate on me. The sound only works if I plug a jack into it, the forward slash key only works if you press the top-right corner and the whole she-bang is getting bogged down because of my inability to reformat the bastard. Thank you, Dell, for refusing to send me a backup disk and putting a hidden partition on the machine without asking me first.
I really want to get a Mac or MacBook Pro, but I would feel rather irresponsible getting a new machine after only two years.
