The ultimate irony

my battery died in my laptop a few days ago, so I order a new one

I get it today and pop that sucker in, it charges to about 40% and POOF a puff of smoke comes from my power supply

my power supply dies 25 minutes after getting a new battery

irony

luckily i have an older power supply, but it is all ghetto, I have to hold the cord a certain way for it to work...LOL

i have had nothing but luck with this model, their desktops are horrible, but this series of laptops was great before they discontinued it

FYI, emachines is the manufacturer of most laptops...in fact gateway owns them...but they manufacture laptops for some of the largest laptop companies in the world

this one I have has ALL brand name components...I opened it up and there is not one generic piece inside, unlike dell who uses the cheapest parts they can find

yeah, they basically a budget computer with brand name parts...you can buy any of their base models for $400 and spend about $200 more in upgrades and have a computer that dell would sell for $900-1000
