I’m sure many of you have heard about my comcrap laptop with toshitba parts before. Previously I have talked about how it came with PC2100 RAM (with a 64-bit AMD processor and 800MHZ bus), how the DVD burner the Toshiba ODD SD-R6252 was seriously picked up out of the dumpster behind toshiba because it was defective in that it won’t read and DVD+R disks despite it being a DVD+R burner. You may have also heard about the TI card readers that have never worked at all, and about the sound card that produces a loud buzzing on the right channel. Now the Toshiba hard drive decided to die too. This brings the number of original working parts to: the USB ports, the screen, the proccessor and the gfx card.
Why is my [B]Compaq[/B] laptop using [B]Toshiba[/B] parts anyways? If I wanted a Toshiba, which I don’t as the Toshitba craptop I bought doesn’t even work and never did, I would have bought one.
This whole thing wouldn’t have irked my so much had the laptop not been a high end 1600$ laptop. When you pay that kind of money, you expect at least mid-grade parts. I’m through with all of these mass producing companies and you should be too.
UPDATE: My grandpa’s DVD burner broke and surprise surprise, it was a Toshiba. We bought it cause it was listed as a Samsung on newegg. Apparently the two companies collaborate on more than just xbox drives, and the samsung half doesn’t compensate enough. I was overjoyed when my 360 came with a sammy, but now I’m scared its going to die at any moment. Remember folks, your sammy is special because of Commodore4ever’s excellent firmwares, not because the drive itself is a great product.
Update 2: The 360 drive is now dying.
