Motherboard

This morning I took my laptop in and the technician said it was the motherboard that crashed and will need to be replaced if I want to keep the laptop. I found out the motherboard is the key part to a computer/laptop. It costs around $200ish just for the part and then on top of that another few hundred dollars of labor to get it in and fixed. After talking to the tecnician he said it would be best to get another laptop if that was possible because he sees so many laptops just like mine which means they aren't that great. I have had a lot of problems with my laptop and have only had it for 2 years! I definitely would never recommend it to anyone looking for a laptop. It has given us headaches with all the problems I've had to deal with. On another note...I am so glad that my husband has a job but not traveling this week (as far as I know). They had layoffs this past week for the 2nd time in 6 months and he is safe. They don't anticipate doing any layoffs the rest of the year. I am grateful that he has a job right now. We moved from Austin to Houston knowing that this job had more risks to it. We took a leap of faith and moved to Katy and are really enjoying it here. I am really thankful that he is so supportive and that he works hard so I can stay at home with the kiddos. Thanks, honey!
