said by Ian1:How exactly is it broken? When you get the replacement from the CC company, may still not be a bad idea to get an estimate on fixing it. Maybe one of us would buy it.
And I don't like HP either, but there's a statistical chance that any laptop will break down over that time-frame, no matter who built it.
It was a mobo failure, utterly useless without a full mobo swap.
True on the failure part, although some manufacturers have lower 3 year failure rates than others. Failure at 370 days is just bullshit. Last time I checked, ASUS had the lowest failure rate at 15% ish in 3 years. Although my OLD IBM ThinkPad from 2000 still works fine.
Gotta love my american AMEX, superb service for $75 a year. Excellent in watching for unauthorized charges, you buy something and its unusual, they call you to make sure. Also super harsh on unscrupulous merchants (eBay etc). You really do get what you pay for.
