Comment Laptop got run over by a car (Score 0) 1542
I had my Dell laptop for 31 days. Paid 1500 for it at the time. I kept it in a backpack because I hadn't bought a computer case for it yet. I was about to travel with my friend in his car somewhere when he diecides he wants to put washer fluid into his car. I put my bag down on the side of the car and was helping him.
The person who had parked next to my friend decide to go somewhere too, so she got into her car and drove off. The only problem was that under her tire went my bag, and in my bag went my laptop.
Checking the laptop showed that only the screen was broken, everything else worked fine. I called Dell customer service and since I dind't buy the protection plan it would have cost me $700 to have it replaced.
Basically I used it as a horrible desktop for a year.
