Abused laptops Posted: 16 Dec 2009 10:16 PM PST Most laptops are treated well by their owners. Occasionally, accidents happen, or laptops are mishandled, and they quickly start to look and feel “aged”. On one occasion, I saw a laptop that obviously had a hard life. The laptop had some unusual problems: The power socket felt loose when the power was plugged in. Some keys on the keyboard would sometimes not work. The power button had “lost” its LED backlight. The CD/DVD drive would sometimes “disappear” from windows vista. It recently had its hard drive replaced by another repairer. I needed to re-installing vista, and the customer asked me to re-install office 2007… But i found the CD was scratched… I couldn’t install office. The owner had another laptop… The keys in the middle of the keyboard (clustered in a circle… About the size of a fist) were about 2 mm lower than the rest of the  keyboard! All this made me think: there is probably a market for rugged laptops that can take some abuse… Both hardware, and some kind of self-healing software.
