    ^ I fixed my laptop twice.. and no issues with piracy. Dun think the laptop companies reli care anyway. But having said that, OS should be registered. You wouldn't wanna miss all those updates would you? especially conidering the many security loopholes windows have

    Really? The Samsung people were really A$$ about having all the installation discs and serial and the authetic softwares.

    I should just avoid buying Samsung then...

    Asus is good too, my friend go a really tiny Asus laptop and it's really pretty and powerful (though I am impartial to the everything is external part). But then its price tag is on the higher end for a PC... so I may as well get a Mac :p

    If I can afford anything AT ALL, that is.

    Not going to bed until 4am in the morning does the trick :p

    Plus, I don't handle multiple replies well =_=b Add that to exam stress and you get nearly-always-on-PA hiake.

    o god, the best laptops have to be the IBM thinkpad and the MacPro. I can't believe there is even a debate on this.

    btw guys please try to stick to the topic.

    yeah, my macbook is registered. but i was thinking if i should delete the word software before bringing it in, then again, i only need them to get out my cd that's stuck in there..so im guessin they have no reason to look around my computer whatsoever anyways.

    lol.. thats the problem with macs.. no manual cd eject. If you have the installer files, y not? just reinstall when you get it back. no harm done

    lol.. nice one. Its true that users go offtopic all the time. Just bring it back and its fine. Harmless flaming once in a while is also entertaining.. but his case.. no comments.
