1. I have a new laptop. It just arrived in the mail today. This is the first new piece of tech I've gotten--bar my Kindle (which is now ancient) and a crappy cell phone that was supposed to be temporary when I got it two (three?) years ago--since the laptop I got as a gift when I graduated from grad school in 2006. HOLY HELL I HAVE A NEW LAPTOP

Congratulations on the new laptop! I hope the transition goes well and happily.

Hugs and good thoughts sent your way in regards to Thursday.

Alas, the new laptop has a hardware malfunction. So I have to send it in for repairs and/or call the sales department and yell at them. :( Siiiiigh.

Good gods, and ack. Also, hugs. Can they give you a totally new one instead?

Because I'm still in the 21 days since day invoiced frame, I'm opting for getting a brand-new replacement rather than going through the rigmarole of trying to get this one fixed, only to discover they couldn't or didn't do it or whatever. It's still blah, you know? Especially since I'm going to be going on a trip in a couple weeks and hoped to have this all taken care of before then. BLAH.

That makes sense...I kept the lemon Lenovo and regretted it the entire time I used the thing.

And yeah, blah. Hopefully you'll get sorted before you leave? *hugs*

I'm not really hopeful about getting it sorted before I leave, as that's...11 days away? and I'll barely be home the couple days before that? The guy in the sales department told me it could take 10-15 days, so...it's probably better if I don't get the new laptop till after I get back from my trip anyway; that way I won't be worrying at it. (That was the point in getting it last weekend, but never mind.)

Very good point about letting it go until you get back. Hope your travels go well....and that planes cooperate.
