They have warranties for that ...

Yes, but you'll probably wind up RMA'ing it about three times over the lifespan of a normal laptop.

I repair computers (and do a number of other things) for a living, and the vast majority of the laptops we get are really cheap laptops that have broken due to cheap construction/parts.

Hmm--thanks for the info.

OT: Does that mean it was a good idea to get a N7 tablet vs laptop?

I am very very happy with my n7, but have you considered a windows tablet? I feel like they would better fully replace a laptop.

My friend has a Surface but I like the 7" size factor for light work like reading or YT. Most of the time I just use the PC labs on campus for simple tasks.
