I love how Michael always tries to hide his apple fanboiness by qualifying it as insider industry knowledge.

I bet he has a poster of Steve Jobs above his bed

Man you guys are morons. How much experience do you have with different laptop manufacturers? Have you worked in deployments of hardware and analysed the failure rates and reliability? Do you actually know the specifications, or do you just look at the brochure and think more GHz is better? It's always people that don't actually know what they are talking about that have these stupid biases.

i bought a laptop same time my old dear bought hipster book.

hers has been replaced twice, f**k knows how many screens and keyboards and hard drives.

mine has had the ram and hardrive upgraded.

all in 2 years.

i download the nastiest f**king porn you cant even imagine from f**k hole virus filled websites.

she watches home and away and plays f**king facebook games.

keep your anal y sis. and your hardwaring.

ill take the pc please!

edit: mine cost less than half hers, and yes. i can play games on it.

expected response.

then why does everyone who switches to mac never go back?

because they realise they have spent close to 3 grand on a piece of shit laptop built for 5 year olds. but they've already told all their windows using friends how awesome it is, so if they go back to windows now they will look even more of a douche than the time they took some weird african woodwind instrument lessons to play at roderick and peppers love union ceremony.

acutallly yes, for a multi 1000 people deployment..

Lenovo's are best...HP worst...

haha just stop, you don't understand how hilarious you sound. Built for 5 year olds? You mean your cheap plastic laptop right? There's a reason it's half the price, because it's a piece of crap. There's no point arguing facts, because you obviously wouldn't understand the details.

I've deployed a dozen macbook air's in this office, they're great and dead simple for people to use which makes my life easier.

If it was more than 20, I'd move to windows and set everything up properly, because OS X deployments are a nightmare to manage for businesses.

The quality of the hardware is good, but the after sales support is meh... Can't just walk into a store, need to make an appointment, need to leave it to get checked out (and can't remove hard drives from the laptop first), need to wait for replacement parts to arrive, etc... Sorry, I can't have a user to be completely without a laptop for 2 weeks while it gets repaired.

Not usually a fan of Apple products as they like to only be compatible with their own shit... Guessing they still don't use Windows?

I like the look of them, they're nice to look at...

emts, where does Asus fall in your rankings?

I've had mine for years, dropped it on tiles from over a meter high... Cracked the screen casing but the screen itself was fine... Keyboard is partially detached but still works... Only the touch pad stopped working but I use a wireless mouse anyway so no loss..

It gets moved around a lot too so ssd is probably a good thing to have, having said that my normal one is still working after being moved around daily and being dropped...

This ^ HP are the WORST laptops, never seen so many problems.

Asus are decent IMO Dezz, I used to use one for study and dad has one its been fine for a few years now.

We use Dells at work, they're also pretty good we have a lot out there and rarely get them back with issues - you might want to wait for a Dell sale to come up if you were thinking Dell though.

You're definitely lucky if you've dropped it a few times / move it often and the hard drive is still working.. always first point of failure. Get SSD for sure on the next one

not used Asus, as they much more consumer than corprate, heard good things tho.

if you looking for a grunty system, esp if doing gaming, look at the alienware series from Dell.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
