Really? What did you do to that poor thing!

I've carried three different laptops. Two of them took multiple tumbles (several times when pannier fell off, once during a wreck). I never had a problem with any of them.

The oldest of the three is my personal laptop, a Lenovo bought in 2007. It still hums along at home doing light-duty.

My 19-year old daughter is the laptop destroyer. She spilled Coke in hers. It still works, but requires an external keyboard as the built-in one no longer works. She's also destroyed a few power supplies by wrapping them around the machine.
