Wow sprinkles, it's thrilling when a member with your feedback score risking being made NARU and banned from ebay forums because somebody else has irritated you into a response 🙂

 

You don't sleep in a metal box with hammers and wrenches, do you?

Wow,  Sprinkles, Bullseye!  More regenerations than D.r Who.

How many LAPTOPS have larger than normal screens these days anyway?

I have had my laptop hard drive replaced under extended guarantee recently. It is nearly 3 yrs old.

LOL, as if laptops a decade ago looked like plasma screens! You seem preoccupied with "these days, those days." Ten years ago, a laptop was expensive because it was a laptop. These days, a laptop that costs $2000, (which isn't expensive anyhow) is a top grade, powerful, all the gadgets, bells and whistles with an enormous screen. Only somebody used to the worst, would want a tiny screen, and just because screens are becoming tinier, that doesn't mean they are better, only able to hold more memory in a smaller amount of space. It doesn't increase the enjoyment of a computer the way a bigger screen does. But as you have little experience with luxury items, you are simply following what's trending now and that shows a want of character. Not surprising, really.

Please stick to the topic of this thread.

10 -12 years ago a desk top computer cost $2000+. People didn't generally own laptops for home use, they were too expensive.

 

Today you can get a very good laptop for  less than $900.

 

I don't believe laptops have 'extra large' screens either.

What a load of rubbish! Of course people owned laptops a decade ago for home use, but maybe not in your home or neighbourhood 😉

You can get very good laptops for under $900 but my one is excellent. You wouldn't know about laptops with extra large screens for the same reason you don't know what Beluga caviar tastes like, the way a cashmere jacket feels or what Chanel No.5 smells like - and not the eau de toilette LOL! 

somone was ripped off

bigger screens?

two flat screen TV monitors (free)

purpose built PC - $550 + case

Crikey, what cheap trash! 🙂

Have you ever seen a laptop with a screen that enormous size?

Who's doing the installs?

Telstra or other contractors?

Just curious. I had no trouble with either of my connections. In Canberra we had a TransACT FTTP connection which was a good setup but the developer hadn't really made the most of the connectivity potential.

Did any posters here own a laptop for home use - 10 -12 years ago or did you only have a desktop computer?
