awdark Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 LOL... here goes. Anyways, so I bought a Sony Vaio a couple years ago and got the best warranty with accidental coverage. I sent it in a few time because of a faulty headphone jack which they just could not seem to fix. They finally replace it but with a different part. Different jack colors annoyed me. I want it be OEM you know? So far, 2 repairs. I send it in again because the DVD burner starts becoming a hit or miss situation. They send it back with some beat up drive... I kept my Vaio in pristine condition (no joke). Now I'm pissed cause the thing looks all beat up and it has slower burn speeds than the previous. I look it up to find out it's from a Vaio older than mine... Awesome. I snip one of the prongs in the DVD burner and take it back for repairs so I can use my No Lemon Policy. A little while later I get a call and they say come in so an associate can help you find a replacement. They point me in the direction of $700 laptops... mind you, two years ago I spent nearly 1800 for mine. The ones they offered didn't even have dedicated graphics. So I asked if I could just get one I wanted and pay the difference. That's where my plan came into play. Haha, it was hella busy and this employee helping me was a super duper goody two shoes. He starts panicking cause all these people need help haha so he grabs the laptop and take me back to customer service where they are to do my exchange. I owe $700 difference on the laptop and he tries to tell the supervisor but he's busy too haha so he brushes him off and he tries to tell the other customer service people. They all treated him like a little kid. They are like yeah dude, we got it, whatever... There were two people working the customer service. I step back and let the people ahead of me go, so the guy that was supposed to help me is busy now, and i move over to the other worker who has no idea whats going on. She asks me whats the laptop for, I tell her it's my replacement HAHA, and she goes oh ok, and starts typing a bunch of crap. gets the manager to put his code in and she tells me i owe 50$ HAHA success. funny cause if you read the receipt. i bought the vaio back in the day for 1,199+tax+warranty. and this laptop cost $1250 just doesn't make sense. she asked me if i wanted a warranty and i said no and got out of there LOL Psh you still had to pay most of the amount! Im surprised you didn't buy a warranty after a experience like that! In that case, I got a $700 upgrade for free. I paid about $730 for my laptop, after sending it back a few times I got a replacement that went for about $1500. With extras like HDtv tuner, office2007, big battery, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDR2 sodimm 1gb stick should work. You're slow because you have so little memory. That and you built up junk (get ccleaner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reuniw Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I used to have Toshiba laptop (forgot the model but it's in the Satellite series), but the screen cracked after about 6 months of use!! I will NEVER buy Toshiba again. Anyways, I have a Dell computer (not laptop) purchased 6 years ago, and which I've never ever had a problem, despite the fact I leave the computer on 24/7 and pretty much mistreat on a daily basis. Plan to purchase a dell again if it ever broke down. Highly recommend dell if you ever want to purchase a computer/laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
