SHORTEST LAPTOP LIFESPAN EVER

I bought a mid-range laptop. It worked for 19 days (that's counting the weekends too, when I don't use it at all). I work remote. I use my computer 8 hrs a day, Monday to Friday. I use mainly outlook (about 90% of what I use). Today, it is exactly 19 days old and still have the protective film on the screen. Today it also stopped working. I rushed to Hi-Fi Corp where I bought it. They have to take it in for 21 days. WHO can be without their computer for 21 days, never mind a remote worker?! No-one on site to check it out, advise or repair. Just book it in and come back. I left the store and had to take it to a computer repair store, where they will fix it (hopefully), they will charge me a small fortune, and maybe it will work for a while or maybe it will not. The laptop is NINETEEN DAYS OLD and it died. What do I have to look forward to after 6 months, or a year - if we get that far. I have now written to their head office. If they resolve my issue, I shall update this post. For those of you looking for a computer, stay away from the Proline Core i5.
