Should I get a new laptop?

twhong_91 — Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:50:59 +0800

Guys, I have a Sager NP8130 and the specs are quite decent.

I7 2630
Gtx460m
8gb ram

running smoothly but the dvd room and hard disk have failed.

The downside is the laptop is very heavy and I'm now thinking should I change the faulty parts or get a new laptop?

If I'm getting a new one, I will get the dell Inspiron 14 which is priced at 2.2k.

Please advice? As I only use the laptop for normal surfing, Microsoft office, email and etc no more gaming.

Guys, I just dropped my lumia 930 recently, the screen is cracked and the screen now is like splashed by ink. hardly can view the screen.

Do you guys know how much is the resell value of a cracked lumia 930?

my budget for new phone max is 600

A friend of mine recently told me that one of her friends always find excuses not to pay his own bill when they hang out together with a group of friends. Like tis la, usually we always hang out with a group of friends then when makan time, usually a person will pay the bill for all the members ma and collect from each of them after that. But there is this special one who always say no money or next time when people ask him to pay bak the money. Btw, he got money to buy fei run hai album and gifts to his gf but tak da Duit pay back debts.

What do u think? Do u hv tis kind of friend ? I

Actor Nicholas Cage is reported to have died shortly after a snowboard accident earlier today - January 17, 2013.

The actor & novice snowboarder was vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland with family and friends. Witnesses indicate that Nicholas Cage lost control of his snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed.

Nicholas Cage was air lifted by ski patrol teams to a local hospital, however, it is believed that the actor died instantly from the impact of the crash. The actor was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and drugs and alcohol do not appear to have played any part in his death.
