First of all... There is a genre of people who like to test the build quality of everything that comes within reach and when it comes to testing laptops... Their favourite is the keyboard !! It had been barely 15 days from arrival that J2 had laid his dirty hands on my lappy... He has this inveterate habit of ''conciously'' banging on the generally soft keys of a new keyboard ... Luckily my lappy passed this slang-bang endurance test without any injury. Thank god.
From the comments I got in the review post from cool89..It seems like he will also put it through his trademark test when he gets to check it out !!!
The second test came from my 2 yr old cousin sister. We all know how 2 yr olds are like. Actually this one is pretty smart. She was sitting in my lap and I casually asked her ''what is this ?''(pointing towards my laptop ...) she surprised me with her answer. '' Laptop '' she said !! Yes I felt proud of my sister and I let her take the control of my lappy thinking if she could differentiate between a laptop and a computer she must be a damn geek !! But then the smartness became volatile and a devilish gleem was seen in her eyes ... She also put my lappy through the keyboard endurance test and touchpad response test and luckily she was light enough for me to lift her away from my lappy !! Phew that was close !!
The 3rd test was a kind of viva ... Yes the kind they take at the college and the quiz master was none other than CD(curly durly) !! He started asking absurd questions on seeing the ''slot load'' DVD drive(they are rare to find.).
The first question or rather a remark was ''see the dell guyz have shipped faulty equipment !! They forgot to put on the tray !! '' I kept my temper under control and just demonstrated that it was fine by popping in a DVD and he got his answer. But soon a string of questions started !! The most insane questions you can think of ''what if I pop in a roti ?? Will your lappy accept it ?? What if I pop it in upside down (good heavens he didnt say vertically ) ?? What will happen if I put a knife in ??''
Why do people asks such questions ?? These scenarios are possible even with the conventional tray drives !! I mean would it make a difference if I popped in a roti in a slot load or the normal one ?? Both the drives wouldnt read a upside down disc and inserting a knife would beat the hell out of any kind of drive !!
My sheer patience kept me in my senses. See these are the kind of grilling tests a new equipment has go through.And I hope you will take the necessary precautions not to let your newly arrived hot-house-plant lappy go through such outlandish tests after reading this post ... ;)
