I'll second that. I just had to replace my hard drive out on the road after it up and failed on me.
As far as Best Buy laptops go, it really all depends on what you are getting. I'm on my third Best Buy laptop in less than 3 years. The one I have now, a Lenovo 3000 N100, is by far the best one I've had so far. It is a business grade laptop, and has heavy duty metal hinges. My first laptop, I killed the hinges in about 6 months. My second laptop, I killed the screen in about a year. This laptop, so far the only thing that has gone wrong with it is the hard drive failing. Fortunately, they were able to recover my data off of the old hard drive, so $430 later I was back up and running. :shock:
