You break Apple laptops too? I thought I was the only one. I bought the one that I'm using off my mom maybe a year ago and it's falling apart. The screen is almost entirely detached from the rest of the computer. I don't know how to describe it properly...it's just...broken. My parent think I've abused it somehow but I really haven't. It's not like I purposely throw it around or anything. Though it has been knocked off my bed by my dog a few times.
We've been an Apple family since I was a child. It's the only type of computer we've ever had in the house. Whenever I use other makes, I get so confused. I feel like other systems are so convoluted. With Apple products things are simple plus their physical appearance is awesome. Sleek and clean, ya know? I kinda want to live in the Apple Store.
The hinge on the iBook that I gave to my brother is cracked but it's not affecting usability. My dad's Dell wound up with the screen connected to the rest of it by only the wires, though.
I don't do physical damage to the computers, I just suffer a shitload of hardware failures (the aforementioned iBook is on its third logic board, and my previous iBook died of a broken screen after four years). My Macbook works great and I'm hoping to keep it that way.
I remember Dad hauling Mac Classics and SEs home from work; the first Mac we owned was a Centris. *old skool* We didn't buy another computer until I was in sixth grade - grape iMac ftw.
Mine works as well, I just have to be really careful with it. I usually bring it with me on long car rides and I get a little paranoid when the roads are bad because the screen is so wobbly.
My only fear is losing the work that I have on my computer. I don't think it'll happen, but I know it could happen. It's rare when I actually take the time to back things up on a disc or jump drive.
I have no idea what we first owned but it was big and clunky. But then things changed and Apples because these beautiful machines. I lost my mind when the parental units ordered the blueberry computer. The shape, the color, the mouse! *loves*
I didn't get a gift when I completed my undergraduate degree but I'm hoping I'll get one when I finish graduate school in the summer. I'm asking for a computer. I'll pay for half of it, but I just really want another one.
