... You might end up running over it with your SUV :rolleyes:
See the rest of the carnage here.
This was a Sony Vaio TZ-150N/B. Came in today from a remote salesman with the company. It's being replaced by a TZ-190/N (wooo, SSD!).
The only things I salvaged from this machine were the battery, the stick of RAM, and the Hard Drive (miraculously).

While I'd normally like to agree with you, I don't think the majority of our Dells would've held up much better... It looks like it was sitting on top of a well-curved rock when he ran over it. It made me sad to hold it in my hands
$3000 a year ago... Ludicrous gibs! -
I don't think any laptop is going to hold up to that event! Holy cr@p! I hope he takes better care of the next one. Considering you got the RAM and HDD all back, I think you did rather well.While I'd normally like to agree with you, I don't think the majority of our Dells would've held up much better...

I'm still not sure how it happened. It obviously wasn't in a carrying bag, as there's spots of mud on the lid. I dunno if it fell out of the car when he had a door open or what.Ludicrous gibs!

I was working on a project for Dr. Pepper where we were implementing new wireless handhend symbol units and we would have a few drivers that would set the things on top of their big tires and forget about them and drive over them. Surprisingly, they usually still worked, but were scratched up (more so if on asphalt vs. dirt)......

Lucky that you were able to recover the HDD.

Those Symbol handhelds are very tough, and in a nice compact hard plastic covered with rubber, usually. Much more durable than a VAIO. Ludicrous gibs! -
A little duct tape and your good to go
. "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -

Am I the only one thinking there's no way that could be accidental?
