Laptops Direct + Missing Pixels

....guarantee of no missing pixels....

So do they have a little pile of pixels that have got 'lost' with every batch?

He killfiles everyone who proves him wrong! What a rich debating tactic.

Hi,

I am surprised you had to pay to have all the recent XP patches installed.

Any half competent computer company / dealer should be doing this anyway.

This is something which I do as standard before shipping any PC to a
customer for free.

Kind Regards

Simon

In truth, nobody knows for sure what the check was about; but it doesn't
follow at all that it was a check for 100% pixel perfection. After all
The most common quality checks are for conformance to tolerances. So
with nothing in writing to the contrary, it is not unreasonable to assume
that it is just an extra quality control check.


A quick search of their website reveals:

http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/asp/p...rchFor=&PT_ID=

Its a gaurantee of zero pixel defects, i.e. testing for complaince to
Class I TFT pixel defects.



Wasting your time mate...
Dr Teeth and Johannes would argue black was white rather than admit they
were simply *wrong* on this point. It has been rather funny though
stringing them along for a while.

OK, I see "Guarantee of no missing pixels"...

But I'm still puzzled about what you're actually paying the £49 for. It
says that it's for a 'Pre delivery inspection' which is a 'Complete quality
check by our engineers'. In reality you don't need an qualified engineer to
find missing pixels, but suppose that you saved the £49 and had it inspected
instead by an independent top qualified engineer and that he found it had
1 missing pixels? Would they then replace the laptop?

If they wouldn't, then the £49 is for more than the inspection, it's for
getting a different quality level. Hence the £49 is effectively a surcharge
on their computers.

Heh I guess the argument is "I looked at the wrong page,t I'm
killfiling you for it", class :-)
