The prices are really reasonable and personally I think it's the best bang for your bucks.

If you ever want to do any upgrades, you can easily remove the harddrive and ram, so you don’t have to spend loads of money with Apple upgrading the laptop on purchase from their store.

I'm not sure if I should apologise, or blame the victim...... Maybe you could submit your own promotional content for the Eee PC contest and then use Bush like tactics to get rid of anyone who doesn't think it's the winning entry, and viola, a great new laptop.</p> I was the first to suggest it.

Sorry that was me (amongst others). I did assume you might be able to do it without making anything else stop working.

Forget fixing that light fitting in your house, call an electrician.

Sorry about the laptop dude. Get a USB enclosure or something so you can get your data off, or while it doesn’t work at all, you have nothing to lose by trying to fix it again.

Again. What's the worst that could happen? You wake up your neighbours in a fit of rage; it doesn't work and you get some fodder for a new promotional LugRadio video; or perhaps it might start working again (which is probably the worst option out of the lot).</p> +1 for taking it apart and putting it back together.

They are low quality and overpriced, and Sony has spread misery in the industry for decades now, trying to force their proprietary technologies on the masses. I hear their even planning to compete with the upcoming bluetooth/w-usb standards. Don't support them!</p> Please Jono, don’t buy a Sony again.
