UPDATE!!The toshiba laptop I wrote this blog on broke (would not power up). I took it back. Big fucking surprise. I am now the proud owner of a plain-jane Acer. Go Acer!!
It's depressing to think about all the crap I've bought that I've had to return. And i usually buy the "good stuff" to avoid crap. There is no such thing as the "good stuff" when I buy it. I will include all electronics I've bought, good and bad.
Lets start in 98
Bought a handbuilt computer ($1500) off a roommates friend. Kept crashing. Needed new video card. Still kept crashing, turned out to be the network card. Less than 2 years later, the motherboard fried, also destroying the processor. Also destroyed another processor when testing. cd drive stopped working within a month as well.
Bought new motherboard and cpu. didn't work with my system. returned it. Used the roommates computer for a while.
Bought premium Voodoo computer (for like $2800) in order to not have problems. Right. Crashed whenever using notepad of all things. NOTEPAD! Had to have it fixed (1-2 weeks).
Bought a $500 cd burner when they were new, 6 months later it only made coasters. exchanged it (luckily i had extended warranty)
bought top of line cl audio card. Caused my games to crash. returned it.
bought external drive enclosure, didn't work. returned it.
bought toshiba TV, had red distortion, returned it. bought another, it has same problem, but its too much of a hassle with a small car to return it again.
bought lite-on dvd burner, it wouldnt even read the dvds it came with!
bought absolute top-of-line 22" CRT monitor online for $1200 (i didnt wanna risk getting a lemon,bought the good one)! within a year image distortion, had to have it shipped at my expense to ontario ($100) got refurnished unit instead. had to wait 3-4 weeks.
bougth brand-name boxed ATI radeon video card for $300. within a year its memory melted. sent away for warranty work.
bought toshiba dvd recorder. first movie, it skipped chapters. returned it.
bought sony laptop. keyboard broke. returned it.
bought compaq laptop. burnt out pixels. returned it.
bought top-of-line toshiba laptop.burnt out pixels. kept it (got tired of returning things)
bought RCA mp3 player.menu system didnt work (could not get to main menu). returned it.
I hate buying stuff, no kidding 75% percent of the stuff i buy does not work correctly. It uncanny how bad my luck is. I do have some good buys though... my toshiba dvd player, lg lcd, toshiba projector, kenwood receiver, sharp tv. but 5 out of like 25 aint that impressive!
