I just had to send my laptop off for repairs and now all I have is a phone. I'm reasonably sure my life is over, is there any way to survive without a laptop in TYOOL 2015?

uh no because there's still a turn around time involved and it is usually at least a week or two (or more)

only an apple retard sends his laptop away for weeks at a time when he could have just replaced the DVD drive or something :colbert:

Your local public library likely has Internet-connected desktops you can use. Just don't masturbate to your porn there for God's sake, the poor staff doesn't need to deal with that

i haven't had a desktop in years. unless youre a gamer or you do something really specialized it isn't really necessary these days.

hint: plug in monitors, keyboard/mouse to a modern laptop and you can't tell the difference for anything else
