Me neither. They don’t bounce, they just kind of hit the ground with a sudden stop and a sickening thud.
At least that’s the sound my laptop made when I picked up my unzipped laptop case tonight. I watched my Sony VAIO fall about two feet right on the front of it’s case. After a quick prayer I picked it up.
The fall popped out the left side of the keyboard, shot the battery out, and broke the clips that keep the laptop closed. I pushed the keyboard down, replaced the battery and started it up. It started without a problem and after a quick test, everything seems fine. Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do about the broken clips except buy some duct tape.
I had a similar accident about a month ago, except it was a three foot fall and it landed in the parking lot at work beside my car. I can still hear the sound of plastic sliding across concrete. Yeah, my laptop has road rash.
Any way, writing this post is a pretty good testimonial for the Sony VAIO PCG-GR300K. Still working like a champ after nearly two and a half years of HEAVY use and two not so gentle falls.
(Maybe Sony will give me FREE stuff for writing this!)
