The DU Lounge

Don't recall the exact year, but it would have been the early to mid-'90s. It was a Toshiba. I got at least 5.5 years out of it. Then purchased another Toshiba. Didn't quite make it to the 5-year mark with that one. Went back to Best Buy and realized that Toshiba had really cheapened their products by then, so I started switching brands at that point. And, to be honest, I found very little satisfaction after that. Most of them only lasted 4 or 5 years before really slowing down, which is frustrating.

My aunt, who, like me, spends a lot of her time on her laptop, had a gaming model that lasted her 9 years. So I decided to give that a try and bought, at considerably higher cost, an Asus Rog Strix last August. Unfortunately, it's been buggy and I had to send it in for repair (at least under warranty).

It's become difficult to find a quality product. Maybe I've just been unlucky.
