I realized I never posted an update about this. Basically what happened is I got my laptop to work until December when it finally wouldn't work. Then I took it to a computer place and they said all I needed was a new power supply, I bought one and it worked fine... Until today, now the new adapter has died as well, in the exact same way the first one did only in four months, instead of two years... Naturally the warrenty was only three months. Anyways, now I'm debating what I should do... What do you think, should I buy another power supply just to have it die in a few months of should I cut my losses and buy a new laptop? The current one is a three year old Thoshiba A500 running Vista, its not in great shape as it is though it runs alright. Most likely I'm going to get a MacBook, I'm not sure if I should get the Air or the Pro or wait to see what they come out with next, which I've heard will be coming out later this year. Another option is to get a tablet (iPad) and use it for most computing needs. For now I'm using my iPod Touch which is a pain to type on, it took close to 30 minutes to type this!
