If I do get to keep the faulty laptop I'll send it to my younger brother

And then organise a screen repair when it becomes available

But as of right now xiaomi is a very new brand in New Zealand and as such repair shops are very unlikely to handle repairs for xiaomi laptops in a timely manner

which exact model do you have?

@Adam W It's like in their DNA I swear

There's one flagship store in Sylvia Park, Auckland that opened earlier this month

I bought like 6 cables from Lithuania

And that's that

She has broken like 5 of them

Is your gf also fucking messy?

Of course there are licensed retailers like PB tech that do have a location in the city I live in

If it's the 13"

But like I said it's highly unlikely that they can facilitate a repair this early in xiaomi's venture into New Zealand

I mean I appreciate the thought of sending links to replacement screens

But since it's New Zealand post fault of damaging is in the post then we're going to claim the insurance out of it

This is their problem to deal with

That's if you end up keeping it, but yeah having the post deal with it is the best decision.

Oh now I see what you mean

But it's likely to be handed off to them as an insurance claim

>Is your gf also fucking messy?
big time. i've noticed that she just doesn't care at all about posessions like i do. she's cracked every phone she's ever owned, i think

I dont think thats mutually exclusive to girls

some people just dont appreciate expensive/valuable stuff

especially when its not theirs

maybe, i don't have enough experience with people to know

all i know is i'm fucking glad i now have a phone with usb-c and hers is still micro usb so she can't break my cunting cables

Well my girlfriend does appreciate the stuff she has

I am more talking about her just sitting in the bed 24/7

Never fucking cleaning

And when she eats somethinf

She just fucking throws it onto the bed she is sitting in

while her entire room is going to shit

Like what the actual fuck is wrong

on the topic of actual chinkshit, i got this today https://www.ebuyer.com/840113-trekstor-surfbook-a13b-laptop-a13b-co-36802
only sort-of chinkshit i guess because it came from a UK store and the brand is German, but this is clearly some chinese odm whitelabel thing. it's pretty decent. n4000 is only dual core, and that does show, but i literally bought this for word processing and basically nothing else, and the keyboard is fine. i was going to get a jumper or a chuwi of some kind eventually, but i saw this was slightly discounted and had a pseudo-UK keyboard (| and \ on function keys) which i liked so i went for it.

+ it's actually cheaper than anything from jumper or chuwi that i've found recently and has a proper UK warranty and stuff, which to me makes up for having a n4000 instead of a n4100

@Adam W did you screen get fucked up like mine in transit?

mine is pretty much fine, though the top left corner has like half the row of pixels obscured by the bezel, which annoys me. i *might* see if i can get a replacement, we'll see how much it bothers me after a day or so
