  • Laptop woes

    From Utopian Galt@21:4/108 to All on Saturday, June 10, 2023 11:26:06
    Bought a Dell G15 5515 (AMD) laptop, but its having battery issues for the last
    year. I had to replace the battery when I first bought it, and it seems its screwing up again. Battery is refusing to work alone without the AC power. I am
    feeling that I might need to consider not using Dell again.

    I renewed my warranty one final time, but I took it into the shop to see if its
    the battery's fault or the AC adapter's fault.

    All Laptops suc these days. They all want to take the cheap way to
    make money. I bought a Lenevo which came highly recommened by BBS land and I started having keyboard and monitor problems within 3 months. I don't think saying I won't buy Lenevo again is the answer. Not unless I find a maker that guarantees thier Laptops for 2 years.

    I ended up blowing 210.00. 85.00 to renew my waranty and 140 for repair and labor for my motherboard on the laptop. Im ok for what this laptop currently features. It has a gamer graphics card for average games like final fantasy 14, and it has 32gb ram and 1.5tb in ssd storage.

    Well I'm sure you paid a pretty penny for your system. I'm not much of a gamer so I can get by with the lower end machines. Although I may have to rethink my belief when it comes to buying a laptop that will last at least 10 years without an issue. I remember when TV's would last 20 years. I've had to buy 3 flat screen TV's in the past 10. I hate to say it but they "just don't make em like they used to". :-(

    ... My reality check just bounced

    I try to have my laptops last for like 8 years and desktops for like 6 years.

    There are at least a dozen models of Thinkpads.

    I'm typing this from my ThinkPad T510.
