    should I go new or used...laptop poll question

    well it appears that I have 3 choices
    1) get a new lcd (screen) for the laptop $75 on Ebay
    2) get a used laptop off ebay and just swap my drive ( $110)
    3) is it time to get a new laptop? $380-$450

    as I said in the chat , I split liquid on the screen, and it is now UN-usable..

    my current laptop does what I need , but the last laptop I replaced the screen and that only got me another year . and never got back together right ..
    I saw that my laptop is so old , replacements on ebay are only 100-150 for the whole thing... 5 minutes swapping disks and I could be up and running ..where as the lcd replacement would take a couple of hours...
    the laptop is 4.5 years old( pretty surprised when I looked it up) and laptops don't really last that long..but I have to admit this one seems sturdy... and the part that really sucks is I will have to set-up a new laptop and move my book marks. configurations etc..

    I am leaning toward replacement and swapping drive ...
    looking for opinions ,
    no wrong answer here

    Get a mac period!
    So much less of a headache than running windows. We own two macbook pros, and a MacBook Air. They are more money, but worth every penny.

    how do you know I don't have one, I never mention what I have ? must be the cost since Mac would cost 4-5 times as much.. for the most part I run Ubuntu... windows occasionally ...but I suppose I could also run a hackintosh

    If you do stick with the PC you could just buy a new or used PC, and put your old hard drive in a external hard drive cover. You can buy them on amazon.

    new has it's advantages, longer battery life being a major one., I don't really want a mac on the grounds that I already work with a lot of different OS's ...I don't need another one ..besides no OS is going to prevent you from spilling something on the screen and ruining it

    I think you should DOWNGRADE to a 1980's TRS-80 and use DOS. Less headaches, very stable, and reliable. Those f*ckers can run circles around any Apple or Windows-based PC's any day of the week! Ha!
