If it doesn't come pre-broken,
If it isn't built such that 50 hours of movement loosens a connector,
If they can fix it in less than a week,
If they carry spare parts for it for more than 2 years,
If they maintain things like the bios...

Then sure! That kind of price is great. But I am so tired of dealing
with little (and not so little) laptop disasters, and fighting to get
parts for older laptops, and dealing with the mess of problems
that seemed to be baked in to most laptops.

For $999 I think you can get a low end T series. I think I'd do that.
