I put in a claim, and they've offered to replace it with....a VAIO NS something or other, intergrated crappy graphics and 1Gb ram piece of shit at $800.

How the fuck is that a "replace like for like" policy?

Talk about being sucked in.

Going to fight it.

are the specs pretty much the same as what you bought 3 years ago?
Isn't depreciation and usage allowed to be considered as well. I mean you did get 3 years of use out of it. Hell do you think you would even get 800.00 out of yours assuming it worked and was sold?

Only thing I could see as being wrong was if the specs are different.
