Walking around with it up stairs and down, standing around and just moving around while standing out of misery while waiting for classes to start. Usually for about 10-15 minutes. Don't know how gentle it is, but definitely not jumping and running and stuff. Just mostly walking up and down.

Hahahaha! I notice the Dell screens are a bit wobbly. But their support is good, I have a friend who owns one and needed the screen and fan changed. They changed it with no questions asked.

Moving a laptop is fine as long as you don't shake it or drop it while it's on.

Yes I'm well aware of the size differences and well aware of the components within it. I can shake my machine all day and, despite my arms not enjoying this due to the weight, it'll work just fine while I do so.

Sadly, my Asus A53Z-AS61 came with a HDD. But I plan to add an SSD soon though, SSD prices are falling like rain!

If the PC falls apart when you turn it over while it's on, you bought crappy laptop. wink.gif

Not quite as safe. The new iPods use flash storage. On the HDD-based iPods, I do believe disk failure is not unheard of.

Laptops are sturdy, never had one fail on me due to falls or anything.

Haven't had a laptop fail on me instantly due to a fall but constant movement while in operation does wear down the HDD. Effects won't be immediate but the HDD is usually always the first part to fail particularly on a laptop.

Suggestion, put the laptop in suspend when you close the lid. Not only will it keep your HDD safer, it also preserves battery life of your laptop. One good thing about ASUS, when I opened my laptop to upgrade to SSD, they had small pieces of foam surrounding the HDD which should help reduce vibration quite a bit and reduce wear on the HDD.

Again, you missed the point entirely Mr. Troll.

Either you're trying your hardest to troll without any regard or you're just plain missing the point. At this point, I'd go for the latter of the two choices, because most trolls leave after one or two posts. tongue.gif

I use a Macbook in school, and all I have to say is that the danger is most present, in your bag! When you forget its in there and just throw your bag in a corner is when the damage will happen. I have a memory foam case for my macbook, and its brilliant, I throw my bag down with no fear. I recommend you get a good case for it.

Either you're trying your hardest to defend your nonsensical analogy or you're just plain missing my use of devil's advocate. At this point, I'd go for both choices, because most people with huge egos are too ignorant and hard-headed to strive to better themselves through better communication through analogies that actually makes some sense and instead endlessly attempt to defend their past actions and ignore any attempt to improve and communicate your argument more effectively.

I got the analogy no problem. Now perhaps he could have expounded on his point to differentiate between carrying/shaking and sharp impacts but why nitpick?
