> I plugged in a broken cd Rom drive that apparently nuked the USB ports While USB has resettable fuses and whatnot to protect itself, every protection circuit has its limits. There are even tools which can nuke the whole mainboards by charging capacitors and dumping all that energy to data lines. > I guess if u keep a laptop stationary at your desk and plugged in at all times, then it could last 11 years. Yes. Mine has seen quite a few countries and spent considerable amount of time trying to cool itself off while I'm developing my Ph.D. and try to get every bit of performance from its processor, all while using my first Mac's power adapter. While I take care of my computer the best I can, it's not a "house PC" in any sense. |
