No Toshiba! Don't go!
My old Toshiba laptop that I got for RIT is currently like an old man getting glaucoma. The screen has been flickering on and off every time I move it for sometime now. Right now I'm using a "new" Compaq laptop. Yes, "new" is deliberately in quotes because it's not really new. It's my brother's that he got in May. Unlike me.....who made my computer last more than 3 years before there's any major problem with it, he destroyed it a month ago. So, since it's under warranty my parents sent it in to fix. Yeah, it's fixed now but is he using it now? Noooooo...he gets a NEW one. And I've been given the one that's all scratched up because the people who refurbished it didn't bother to take care.
I don't know....getting a "new" laptop because my brother destroyed it with his "media work" leaves a bit of a bitter taste. I feel like I've been given a rejected one. The piece of cake all covered in wax.
It's fine to give me this banged up thing. Just not how they did it as in "oh we'll give you this because your brother will get a NEW one!" They were emphasizing how my brother will get a new one. When I called up that Toshiba was having problem they basically said, "you'll get your brother's compaq and we'll get him a new one." Thing is....I told them don't go for a laptop right away. Get him a good desktop. He needs it for the media stuff. A laptop can't be his main computer. Did they listen to me? Nooooooo. And I'm the one who's in RIT and knows all the untold things about the majors here.
I now prefer just getting my old Toshiba back all fixed up. It doesn't feel like a reject. I don't care if it's on life support now. It lasted me more than 3 years. I think it'll last another 6 months.
