This is a laptop that has seen heavy use for over 3 years and it's just getting to the point where it's slow.
There's one physical problem with it that I already had fixed once - the spot where the power cord plugs into the computer is loose and you sometimes have to play games with the position of the cord to get it to stay charged.
Okay, actually that's not true - there is another problem that I have just gotten so used to dealing with I don't even think about it anymore. They keyboard is really f'ed. If I use the regular keyboard on the laptop, it types all sorts of wrong stuff. I bought a wireless keybaord and mouse that I like better anyway, and have been using them. This whole thing started when I first sent the laptop in because of the power cord issue. Even though I didn't ask them to, they put on a new keyboard! And that's when things started to really decline. I could have sent it back but it wasn't convenient with my work schedule. Now the computer is out of warranty and since I want a new computer somewhat soon, I have been just dealing.
The worst part about this IBM has been the customer service. When it got to the point that I finally had to call them, they were absolutely useless.
Another reason I want a new toy is that I am tired of having a laptop and want a bigger monitor etc. Sure I could get a docking station but why pay for a docking station for an old computer?
Me want new toy.
