FINALLY, I have a new laptop! I always used to play on a desktop but now I can lay down with my dog while I'm playing, love it
Took me so long for this laptop. I first bought a Packard Bell laptop in a big computer store (not really close to me). When I got home I realized something was wrong so I had to drive back to get it fixed. It took them around a week to get it "fixed", so I got in my car, back to the store and home I went.
I install everything again, go to bed and notice how it's still broken the next day that I wake up. RRRAAAAAARGHHHHH - had to go back to the store. Being pretty pissed I enter the store, bring in my laptop, get it checked again, week later, same store, nadanadanada, ...
3rd time and it was STILL not fixed! "corrupt image" error at startup, some other boot errors, I went mentally insane.
Made a couple mad phonecalls (after an hour I finally had the correct person on the line). They would take care of it with Packard Bell and let me know what kind of compensation I would get by the end of the week.
Saturday evening ... I call to the store to find out the woman fell ill and someone replaced her, but she wasn't there anymore so I had to call back on monday.
Had to bring in my laptop so they could send it to Packard Bell cause it was a production mistake. Surprisingly enough they didn't just give me a new laptop and it took them 7! weeks before it was back in their store.
So yesterday I picked up my laptop, got home, and guess what?!! IT WASNT FIXED!
Today was d-day for me! I woke up early and went to the store (for like the 6th time, 2 full gastanks already) and said: "I'm tired of this bull****, I aint leaving till I have a new laptop" (in dutch then LDO).
A lot of talking, people talking to other people, people making phonecalls to Packard Bell, ..
After like 30 minutes they told me I would get a refund ticket in a couple days by mail from Packard Bell and they would give me a temp laptop for now.
Wasn't really happy but told the guy I guessed it was all I could get. The guy went back to find a temporary laptop and I said to myself "hell no, that aint good enough, not gonna drive back another time".
Guy came back and that's what I told him. Another half hour passes with phonecalls going on and then he brings me the good news. I could get a refund ticket right now from their store and they would figure it out later with Packard Bell!
So now I have bought a Sony Vaio, not a single moment of doubt of rebuying a Packard Bell laptop ..
That store won't see me again, that's for sure. If I wasn't so persistant then I still wouldn't have gotten a laptop and probably be driving back and forth a couple more times.
Now I can grind on my laptop and I really like it. I don't have AIM, MSN, winamp, ..
Nothing that can distract me! Fully focused on my poker and I'm playing less tables. That should improve my winrate for sure (hopefully

).
Cause the sceen isn't as big as my desktop screens it's also harder to constantly browse leggo, 2+2, watch movies, watch pron, ... so that's another thing that won't distract me.
Another pluspoint: I don't have betpot yet on my laptop and I won't install it either. This will make sure I think about the hand more, look at the board texture and villain, .. without just blindly mashing that potbutton
See you at the tables! And when I see you, I'm probably laying down with my feet up in the air!!
(long post, probably tl;dr, but I hope I didn't make too many grammatical mistakes. My way of English writing probably sounds whiney, but if you make it to these words, then I can safely say the post is over!
