So, basically something dies out pretty quickly? I'm only getting a 1 yr warranty, but should I extend that?

I'll say that I haven't had a single issue (hardware wise) from Asus or Lenovo.

I've had screens fail on HP laptops and I've had a few HDDs fail on brand new Acers. But none of them have had the number of integrated peripheral (aka "need to replace the motherboard") failures as I've had with Dells. I've seen more Dell laptop motherboards replaced than all of the other brands combined. |
