Yeah, it did it again tonight.
I did some googling and I guess it's really common for owners of my computer (Gateway MT3422) to go through four or five motherboards in a year. Fuck that shit. I'm probably gonna take out my harddrive and just slap er in a new computer.
That being said, what laptops do you guys recommend that are relatively cheap and last longer than a year without crapping out? NOTE: I REFUSE TO BUY APPLE. Thanks for any and all feedback and info.

mostly anything will survive a year. grab something at walrats.
if you're looking for longer term use and something that will survive a lot of carrying about, go for a business class machine like a lenovo thinkpad t series, a dell precision, or...
ok, look, there are different types of laptops just like theres different cars, think pontiac vibe vs. audi rs4.
people in this board except maybe for jico (orangebar) and glice (who works in tech support) know little about computers--
so i'd say read up a bit:

i subscribe to that shit sporadically and it's decent.
