the hinges aren't the problem , its the plastic part surrounding the hinges and the screen that's broken in the hinge area.
went to reddington and the indian sonyvaio parts guy said 35k for the complete lid bezel. but like i said that was last year

theripper3:
If you were to repair the hinge, how much would it cost? I want to get this PC but not in parts .

the plastic (bezel) to which the hinges are attached is broken. hence the hinges have nothing to hold on to.

Charmingsoul:
Wait u mean the two hinges are broken?

I purchased this myself online from the sony (us) education store. at the time of purchase these laptops cost about 180k - 200k (upgraded from the base spec) back home
this laptop has been nothing short of amazing..battery life is awesome , keypads are a joy to type on, screen is bright and beautiful; upgraded to the (1600x900)option during purchase.

This is some serious eye candy and packs decent power with those looks

This 14inch laptop comes with the ff specification

Intel Core i7-3632QM quad core processor up to 3.20Hz with turbo boost
750 GB (7200rpm) HDD
8GB DDR3- 1600MHz
Intel HD Graphics 4000

as mentioned earlier, this an upgraded unit (during purchase) , the base options come with lower specs.

BUT NOW , THE HINGES ARE BROKEN AND THE SCREEN IS SEMI-DETACHED FROM THE LOWER PART
EVERY THING ON THIS NOTEBOOK IS STILL 100% FUNCTIONAL. AND WILL MOST PROBABLY BE BEST SUITED FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BUY THEM FOR THE PARTS..

please see pics here..

i put it up for sale few months back, bt i took it off cos I had to continue using it. when my macbook pro was delayed.

-The Optical Drive (DVD burner) still works excellently. haven't used it up to 10 times since purchase, been primarily used for occasional software installation.
-Battery is great, still up to 4hrs juice time
-Storage is a 750GB 7200rpm HDD
- RAM, 8GB DDR3 -1600 MHz
-Intel HD 4000 Graphics

I'm presently operating within the Mac Ecosystem so i no longer have a need for this computer.

SELLING FOR 40K

don't get me wrong, 'm inferring that as a probable reason for those "limitations" your friend kept experiencing

LordReed:
Did I mention that they were?

Macbook airs are not really performance notebooks, they're more suited for people with relatively light computing needs

LordReed:
Apple products are priced the way they are because Apple has successfully sold the image of creating standout premium products even though the differentiation is not much. Factually though the image is backed by a good product experience all round however I would say in general terms you can get more bang for your buck if you take a similarly priced Windows laptop over a MacBook especially if you want to play games and you are in Nigeria.

Apple products thrive on being able to access the Apple ecosystem which includes their customer service. In Nigeria you are kind of isolated from the full Apple experience and while you certainly can enjoy your product know that people using Windows machines will do more than you with a MacBook. Typical example in my office a colleague of mine wanted to hook up his MacBook to our office printer, he couldn't because the driver installation process was not accessible. Another time we tried to access a webpage we were hosting on a local server but we couldn't on the MacBook meanwhile all the windows machines were accessing the same page. I am sure these are not major problems but if you encounter such limitations on a daily basis it can become frustrating. One other colleague said she regrets buying MacBook Air because of the limitations she keeps getting. Three other colleagues are happy with their macbooks though so it does depend.

If you are in Nigeria and you want to game on your mobile machine I won't advice getting a Mac. If productivity is all you'd need it for and mind you be ready for some sacrifices, by all means MacBooks are a great way to spend your money.

everybody with an opposing view is a fanboy to fulaman198

moonraker:
If you knew my background, you wouldnt have written most of what you wrote up there...

Fanboyish?? are u kidding me?? WHat do i have to gain from being a fanboy??

Ask any seasoned windows IT guy who owns the best trackpads in the business and listen carefully for their response. The fact that you know

nothing about that, doesnt mean that i made shit up.

Your IPS display and the retina display are in the same category. It all boils down to software tweaking. ie calibration.

You ask me if i have experienced dealing with CS of windows manufacturers?? do i sound like a kid to you or something??

So i work in IT, i have opportunities to deal with these so call manufacturers. Name it, acer, HP, Fujitsu, Lenovo etc

The only one of those guys that comes close to Apples CS, is Lenovo....

I rest my case... Like you said, to each to his opinion...

you're such a stupid fvck, have you ever heard of a president missing his speaking slot at such an important meeting as did jonathn??
jonathan over the years has continued to be a national embarrassment on various occasions.
The PDP's continued horseshit is a testament to their overly desperate desire to continue to appropriate our money and resources to feed their gluttonous selfish greed

Shameless Agbero Progressives Congress, see as how their leader they loiter around downing street like Agbero.

You have only provided proof of lack of attention to detail, are my assertions wrong or right? or did i open a new website ?

Fulaman198:
I have provided proof, you have been providing fake links in regards to Lenovo just to fake a point. Nice try though.

with 32gb ram and 16gb ram, both configs cost over $3000
Tell ma again how expensive macbook pros are

selected upgrades are
512SSD
max processor
max display quality
Nvidia quadro k2100m 2G graphics

and look at the ridiculous price point

the site obviously has challenges updating the added specs.
expand each category and manually add the extra cost of the upgrdes to the base cost and see what figures you arrive at

Fulaman198:
Ok I don't see the issue, I'm using 16gb of RAM.

my earlier config was 16gb as well,
i said use the config i selected and tell me what figures you run.
the max spec for the lenovo is over $3,000

Fulaman198:
What specs are being toned down. The Macbook Pro 15" does not come with 32gb of RAM so I didn't configure it with such.

and i no longer hear you making noise about no macbook in the world can compete with your tuna can, is that a fake point too??

you talk too much, i said what fake links ? simple. so i cloned lenovo's website in seconds to make a fake point . you see say u no get talk?
proof of what did you provide exactly ? u tone down on specs and call that proof ? match up the spec i did and lets see how the figures run

Fulaman198:
I have provided proof, you have been providing fake links in regards to Lenovo just to fake a point. Nice try though.

are you refering to the non touch version ?

JustCalMeDBoss:
Go proce on their website

typically speaking of what W541? the type that can compete with a 2015 macbook pro , or the type that is convenient for your argument ?? you were all hot about huge specs now you're trimming down
you made a very clear statement..."no macbook can compete with my lenovo " a better config than yours is whopped by a 2013 model and you're yapping about competing with the 2015 model.
the only link i put here costing the lenovo is from the lenovo site , so which fake link are you referring to bros

Fulaman198:
Wrong on all accounts. My Lenovo isn't even half the price of a Macbook Pro 15". Again, you lied on numerous occasions. I linked numerous links that showed that typically speaking a Lenovo Thinkpad W541 is inbetween the price of $1200 USD and $1900. I don't know what bogus fake links you are linking.

which spec is this please ? the one you boasted competes with the macbook pro and slays it and all dat, or just the spec thats convenient for your argument ?

Fulaman198:
Oops forgot to change the resolution of the monitor, still nowhere near the price you linked earlier. It goes back to what I was saying that you get much more for your money. If I lived in the states, I could order RAM for cheap on a site like Amazon and max out everything. Something you can't do on a Macbook.

@ Fulaman, I have established that
-your lenovo is outperformed by a cheaper macbook pro
-the macbook pro 13" is the most powerful small form factor notebook
-the perceived "huge" difference in cost between equally performing PCs and MacBooks are actually infact just a perception, and is untrue most of the time.
-You really don't know as much as you wrongly assume you do.

what have you established?

dude, i thought you were an engineer ? the cinbench test measures "overall performance" that is "allrounder" performance test !! good lord.
lol, you're showing me frame rates for game playback
you should have taken a cue from the performance results i posted for the xps 13 and xps 15,

Fulaman198:
You were slayed by your own link

i thought i already established that i couldn't find performance information on the w541 and you agree the processor is only 10% faster than the w540, you accused me of not showing the processor for the test subject and i did just that. why u getting your panties up in bunch

Fulaman198:
You seriously must not be very intelligent.

The W541 and W540 are different computers.

The W540 is 2 years old, the W541 is new. Stop posting crap and incorrect information. You keep posting W540, and I have a W541. You completely have lost all credibility. Your own link and screenshot slays you.
