Welcome to the family

Our laptop that had been having issues finally died. On its third visit back to the workshop it was determined that the motherboard was bad. Appartently the HP DV series had a bug in them that is making itself known. The computer shop said they have a shelf full of them that about 18 months into its life the motherboards just go bad.

So now that we've had a taste of life with a laptop its purely and utterly impossible to go back to a desktop (ewww...yuck). And with lack of comptuer withdrawl quickly setting in, we made a (to say the least) hasty purchase and now I introduce to you our new computer!! (oohs and ahhs inserted here).



Notice the humongous screen. The built in number pad. Of course we bought the normal warranty but are deciding if we learned our lesson with the first laptop and should go with the extended warranty. What do you guys think?
