I think you mean "more than suits the needs of the majority of consumers, many of whom would be happy with a 486, who exist solely to surf the web and sync their iPods."

I browse it when I'm bored, lol

Heh, we only got Newegg here in Soviet Canuckistan about a year ago, but I bought the #$@% out of a lot of stuff there when I was still in Orlando. I actually use (and recommend to all my Comrade Canuckistanis) shopbot.ca, which gets price quotes from basically every Canadian online retailer, though there is a core of retailers that I will go through. Usually buy a lot of stuff from NCIX/Direct Canada and Infonec as well as the Newegg, which is where my EEEpc came from.

This is a common laptop problem. The belt that attaches the screen gets loose inside, and you need to change that belt to get back to your normal color screen.

ummm, as far as I can tell, from physically handling the LCD and through research, there's no way "change that belt" aside from replacing the LCD assembly...


it is a common problem, yes, but the common solution is replace the LCD
