Should i of bought a new laptop?

Question

Hello so i bought a new computer today and i am started to think i should of waited longer? I'll tell you the full story. So on jan 4th 2010 i bought a laptop used off kijiji and it was fine when i got it except there was a line at a certain tilt on the screen but it would dissapear at the normal angle as well the battery was almost depleted so about 2 months later the red line started to appear and by now i didnt have there phone number or address cuz it had been 2 months. And around this time the battery wouldnt hold a charge and it would shut down sometimes when the power brick would over heat.

So i got a new battery for it and a fan so now it wouldnt overheat and the battery is lasting about 1hr to 1hr and 30 mins ( 17inch pc) as well now there was 2 lines on the screen one red one green hoth on the left side but beside that it was functioning okay.

So starting sept 2010 i had saved up some money and gift cards to buy a new computer when this one died thinking it would be soon. So as of today it is still working and i went to futureshop to buy some movies and got talked into buying a computer and i bought the one i was thinking about as well and heres the specs if you want to give your feedback on the price and specs.

429.99 plus tax = 473 or so after tax

15.6 inch screen
2.1 gb triple core
4 gb ram
640 gb hd
Ati radeon 4250 graphics card
And the battery lasts up to 3.5 hrs ( got 3 hours and 12 minutes on balanced tonite)
And the model is acer aspire 5552-5686
Oh and it has windows 7 home and my old laptop had vista

So i was wondering if i should of waited for the old laptop with the lines on the screen to die before i bought this acer laptop or since i had the extra cash that it was ok that i bought this new laptop???

Also have u had issues with acer laptops since my old one was hp??


Thanks and sorry for the wall of text lol

Answer 1

I've personally owned several Acer products to great success other than I've had bad experiences with their customer support.



Honestly, the question you're asking is more of a personal question. You have to ask yourself if you would've rather saved up and gotten a more "top of the line" laptop or if you're satisfied with this one. That said, for what you got, that's a fairly decent price.
