ah, motherboard failure.
that seems quite bad. my asus laptop had a motherboard failure once, but after replacement during the warranty period it's been running well for the past 3 years.
i don't like acer laptops, they seem to have overheating problems. everytime i go near my cousin's acer laptop it seems like it's going to catch on fire anytime.
i am looking at dell - but they don't seem to have a space-saving solution. the all-in-ones they have have at best a core duo processor, not much improvement from my laptop if you ask me.
maybe i will go for a tower pc after all, i guess. i do think that there will be heating issues with all-in-one pc.
I am also looking for a new pc for my parents. i reckon that it is not advisable to buy a self assembled one again. As i am hardly at home, my dad will probably carry the entire cpu down to SLS without letting me check first. I also don't have the time to figure out the problem or trot down to SLS to buy a new hardware for them.
I am looking at dell too. They have 3 yrs onsite warranty and my parents can invite the technicians to my house for tea.
DIY comps rules! Mac rules too lah! Parents don't seem to think so. ;p
