Ok, so my four-year-old laptop that I use for development is officially dying. The insides of the hinges connecting the screen to the laptop are crumbling apart inside, and the screen is no longer able to hold itself up. I have a nice big stack of books holding the screen up right now, but it kind of defeats the purpose of being a laptop. Plus my hard drive is getting more and more click-y each day. I haven't been able to be in #drupal IRC or working on code as much as I've wanted to recently.
I'm trying to find a good replacement on Dell Outlet but it's a hit-and-miss type of site where the good configurations tend to disappear fast. If I can't get a replacement quick enough, I'm probably going to have to cancel my trip to Boston for the Drupal.org upgrade sprints and will no doubt put me behind on keeping my contrib modules up to date (it already has). Now more than ever, it would be greatly appreciated if you use/like any of my Drupal modules, to help and contribute to my replacement laptop fund.
This really kinda stinks, but it's not like I wasn't expecting this anytime soon. :/
I am not a fan of Dell i think they are low quality today and not the company they used to be. Plus they screwed a friend of mine on warranty. Are you near Best Buy? Those guys are great and have good deals. I got 17" HP Windows Vista with 4 Gb of ram for only $700.
