Dang, Laura, you bully..... what are you doing to these poor things? Making them drink coffee through their keyboard? Playing catch with the laptop with your wall? Letting the neighbors dog chew away?
Hope this works out and they do right by you. Never had an Asus. It's weird, but I keep coming back to HP and no one else but me has any luck with them. Just had a Lenovo which everyone raves about, and I found it to be canon fodder. Just a freezing-up, websites not working right mess.
Is this the laptop you do most of your moderating from? Do you have a spare?
You strike me as the type of person who has a spare.....
