So a horrible horrible thing happened. My laptop screen cracked. For those of you who don't know(how could you not), I got a brand new Lenovo Yoga 2 pro for Christmas from my Mom. Greatest mom ever obviously. But on a side note, I was in the market for a laptop that could do these specific things:
-Double as a tablet
-Play Starcraft 2
-Great for Writing(backlit keyboard, good feel to the keys, etc)
And that's it. Those are my requirements. And you know what, these requirements actually narrowed it down quit a bit. I originally bought an Asus 15.6 inch flip on amazon. But when I got it I realized it was too big, and the screen had horrible viewing angles. So I returned it and then went to Best Buy so that I could actually see the product before I purchase and had my sights set on a 600 dollar Lenovo yoga 2. When my mom came to town she said she would help me with my laptop, so I decided to go for a much higher end one, and spent around 1200 dollars. Well I didn't spend, she did. That was two months ago. Now its cracked to shit. I tried to take it to a local store to fix, and they said they would have to order the part and if the screen is glued then it would be a tricky fix, and that it would be better to go with Lenovo. So I send to Lenovo. I called them and said that the screen cracked from normal use.
I lied. What happened was my girls were roughhousing in our bed, one fell off and bumped my laptop. It actually happened right before my show, check out the swapper episode, I think that episode ended up being one of my better ones, so maybe I will have them break my most valuable possession before every show. Does any other parent out there have trouble restraining themselves when your disrespectful children break something "on accident?" I mean, yes, I realize it was an accident that you fell off the bed onto my laptop with all your weight after mommy specifically asked you to stop wrestling in the bed twice, TWICE! But sure, its not like you meant to break my soul. So I wont beat the ever-livin shit out of you. Plus I cant because your a kid and its child abuse and bla bla bla. Honestly if I didn't have to do a show right then and there I probably would have cursed and yelled and lectured for a long while. As is I had to put on a happy face, and it actually worked, I got over it and realized its just money. What's funny is without me getting mad the girls cried cause they realized how grave the circumstances were to break the new tech device I just got and use constantly. That is probably pretty sad on my part but hey, no one is perfect.
Anyone so I tell Lenovo it was cracked on normal use, but this is still not covered by their basic warranty, so I am out almost 500 bucks for this fiasco. And i don't have my laptop for a month. Also, its the worst month for this as Heroes of the Storm just came out and I am extremely addicted.
Well, rant over. I feel better, but wont tomorrow when I will want to play Heroes while watching the super bowl but will be unable to because my laptop is in Texas for repairs. Also, Patriots will win, that is my pick, but who gives a shit cause this is the worst two teams to make it to the super bowl ever. Boycott!
Rant over....sorry for a rant post.
