Laptop motherboard
NaRu:
Never get a refurbished laptop motherboard.... I say get a new laptop. Laptops don't cost that much anymore. You can get a decent one for $500
fohfoh:
Oh also try and stay away from cheap dells, (Since people like to support the XPS for some odd reason), HP cheap ones aren't that great either, but the business ones are usually quite decent, compaq blows... don't bother. and gateway sits right there with dell.
Toshiba isn't bad for a cheap one
Neither is Asus
Though for some odd reason, I can see an MSi fitting your needs nicely
Sony is sometimes good sometimes bad. (debatable) Either your unit works flawlessly, or you get a lemon. Not sure why Sony USA has all these hoops and everything, but Sony Canada (though having less options than USA) generally gets free fixes and repairs. (Though "retarded fixes" are charged to people who don't take care of their components. ie: You clogged up your computer with dust, they clean it out, put on new thermal paste and charge you a nice 120 dollar fee for "repairs")

The newer HPs are very good. Especially the models with P-branded C2Ds.
Gogeta, what the fuck is the point of asking us for advice if you're just going to ignore us and do your own thing anyway?

hey hey hey
whoever said that?
i said "thinking bout getting a new one"
also there was the question:
"is this laptop worth fixing (thats why i mentioned the specs)
and
"is it hard to change a motherboard by my own?"
and yes I am counting your opinion, but it seems unanimously that I should get a new one.
and actually Psy, Im taking YOUR post into consideration, since I didnt know if hp was anygood. . .
ok another question
Hp = fail?
Dell, Compaq = fail <--fact
I dont know much about gateway
I know toshiba aint bad.
Asus and MSI, never heard any reviews on them
Sony Vaio (heard good stuff) <--to expensive
I happen to work at sears and have my 10% off so I guess ill order one from them.

I have to second Psy's recommendation. HP's are some of the better Windows laptops on the market.
I would highly advise against a used or refurbished laptop. Most Windows laptops aren't meant to last more than 2-3 years.
