When is it a good time to upgrade your laptop entirely and change manufacturers? Our laptop, wich isn't very old has had at least two motherboard replacements and when the new battery comes in, the second battery. The charger has been replaced twice also. One other person wants to try a different model to see if we have better luck, but one person says no because I had just purchaced a pretty pricey item for the family and I am just starting to make payments, but the payments aren't the expensive, in other words... it won't put me in the "poor house".

So when is it time to "throw in the towel" and admit this laptop is pretty much doomed to have problems for the rest of time? Thanks.
