# My laptop is my lifeline

I have it backed up, and I can do pretty much everything I need to maintain/fix it, I'm just worried about the actual cost should a big problem come up.

# Here. Have my warranty.
I'll buy you a new one as long as you don't dip it in a lake and keep a proper external backup.

# I love my laptop like I would love a hardworking dog
And I would protect it as such

I am however going to bookmark this warranty and make you listen to my naughty swears (from another access point of course) should my faithful dog get something terminal.

# I share Zoots feelings about laptops and warranties
just buy a generic battery, and keep the cash for the warranty in your pocket. If your laptops breaks, use the money to fix it. If it doesn't: profit!

I am going to watch a film now.

# Heh, me too

I do try to find something good.
But I guess the missus will have to have a say in it too ;)

# Do you think there's any actual difference between 'genuine' and generic batteries?
Or to put it another way- enjoy your film you damn slacker!

# Not really - I never buy "genuines"
and I've never had a problem.

# the difference is that once they leave the Asian
sweat shop they go to one room to have a fancy stamp on them and become expensive and a few make it to the room with no stamps and are charged at reasonable prices.

# Hahah, you big cynic

I'm usually pretty good with not giving a shit about branding, I just needed someone to tell me they've experienced the difference(/lack of) themselves :)

Why aren't you too drunk to be nice to me yet?
