Anyone know where I can buy a Laptop with a laptop assistant? I would like to be able to trade them both in for an upgrade to newer models every five years or so LOL I believe some have been imported from the eastern block. Regards, =20 Dave Ankers O, Smiles, thats ok Mandy, wish you good Luck with the new laptop, but sorry to be throwing another spanner in the works, but, shall you be purchasing a five year garantee? I ask this as I wouldn't have a laptop without a five year garantee, they are expensive to buy parts for and even more costly to be paying repairs on them, also if your going to be transporting it, the guarantee covers accidental too. Our first laptop had only the normal one year worrantee and lasted only 13 months before it just wouldn't switch on again, something to do with the on/off key but we still have the unworking thing here even now, it was cheaper to buy another one and with a guarantee, which we have done ever since. We have used the five year garantees twice on one laptop and our other one has actually been renewed after 4 years so it was well worthwhile! Good luck, BWS Christine W.----- Original Message ----- From: "Mandy" <manumandy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 1:42 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Dilemma. Hi Christine. I am buying a Dell which will be arriving on 3 May and I have asked for exactly what I want and as it is costing me rather a lot I intend to keep it for years to come unless I suddenly come into money - at least for seven years as I am on a debt management programme which will go on for that long. I am only able to buy a laptop at all because of the money I requested from Kingston Association for the Blind which was originally for Window-Eyes but I decided to stick with Jaws and am using it for the Dell. I spoke with George Bell yesterday because a guy from a company associated with Dell advised me I could not have xP Home any longer and I almost fell into the trap of buying Vista but I was concerned about it and now am buying something that will be perfectly adequate for Vista HP when I am ready to change. I'm glad you and your family enjoy your computers as much: I think my husband curses the day he ever persuaded me to get a computer as I spend half my life using it!
