HP; Tough laptop (or my cheap case)

**The_Other_One** · 02-29-2008, 05:25 AM

Haha, so on my way to class this morning, I managed to trip on a random uneven block. It's what I get for taking a different route to class

Anyway, I stumbled a bit then fell forward right onto my laptop case. Figuring the worst, I pulled out my new HP and opened the screen. The thing's unscaved as far as I can tell. No case cracks, marks on the screen, or anything of the sort. As for me...well my wrist is pretty scuffed, right knee is very swollen, and I have a huge knot on my left thigh(I think from landing on my cellphone. It's fine too. I reached into my pocket to find it in pieces, but the battery cover had just been slid off. Some of the plastic's scratched on my phone, but it's all under the battery cover so no visible damage.

So yeah, how was your day?

hahah oh dear. i would panic if i did something like that. mostly cos i couldnt afford something decent so i would have broken someone elses laptop hahhahahah

but yeha. good to hear its alright.

Hah...well if I HAD to I could buy myself another laptop, but I'd certainly rather spend my money elsewhere

Oh, and if anyone's wondering, I have a cheap Icon case from Walmart. Apparently it's much more supportable than I thought!

Hey there, i sorry for your accident.
Might be worth it investing in a Laptop Hardcase, all you can hurt is yourself...(if you fall on it)

You'd think all the money students pay to go to college they would be able to have even streets and sidewalks, but I guess we can't live in a perfect world now can we

. I would be like you though if I were to fall and my laptop was with me...I'd FREAK. I can't drop another $2,000 on a laptop thats for sure.
