new laptop!!
Yeah, so after doing a little researching, i found that it would cost me about 300$ to fix my last laptop, so I decided to take that 300$ and put it towards something new. So I got a HP Pavillion G7 17.3" screen, 640g hdd, 6g ram, dolby surround speakers, and it's friggin sweet!!

I got the last one too lol. Bought it at Staples, they had the best deal out of Best Buy and PCRichards. Taking it out of the box and opening it was like christmas morning, even though I paid for it lol. My other laptop has a S1 socket and they dont sell that size even on newegg lol. I'd have to buy it used or on some unknown website for 200 something bucks. Then fan i think, and possibly heatsink...and who knows if the hard drive isnt the problem. Just felt it was easier to buy a new one and maybe buy a used cpu and see if I can fix it...my parents said they would buy it from me so they can use it....and it was a xmas present from them :P

It's an Intel i3, it was on sale at all the stores this week oddly, and even more odd was the best deal was at Staples.....they even topped newegg.com but 30$ lol. It's was 649.99 with 120$ instant savings then a 50$ rebate. Newegg was 499.99. I also got a rebate for a free upgrade to windows 8 when it comes out.
