And my Ubuntu boxes are running on 10 year old Dells. <shrug>
- valuearb 9y agoYou probably don’t drop them often. Every dell laptop I’ve owned broke when dropped. Ive dropped the glue and aluminum MacBooks dozens of times and nothing ever broke.
- michaelcampbell 9y agoI can't say I've dropped them at all. But maybe that's where we differ; I also don't EXPECT to, so I don't buy for that eventuality (dozens? really? Over 24 times!?).
- valuearb 9y agoi use my laptops an average of 6-8 hours a day over 7 days a week. I pack them to go to work, unpack to work, disconnect to get to meetings, carry it back to reconnect, repack, unpack and setup at home, carry to the couch, pick up take to bed, etc. In two years that’s like 7,000 opportunities to drop it.
