Hi,
I bought a Lennovo Ideapad 500S almost 2 years back. It just suddenly stopped working, I brought it for a repair in Challenger and they said the motherboard is fried and repair cost would be $600. Is this even a normal price? Should I try SLS for repair to see if I can get a better price?
Anyway, assuming the cost is really around $600, can I get a laptop with better specs for $600? I tried looking for laptops around that price online but I don't know much about comparing specs. I just wanna get a laptop with similar performance, it's enough to do most of my day to day job.
Here is my laptop specs for your information
Processor: Intel Core i7-6500U (Intel Core i7)
Graphics adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 940M - 2048 MB, Core: 1072 MHz, Memory: 2000 MHz, DDR3.
Memory: 8192 MB DDR3L-1600 MHz
Mainboard: Intel Skylake-U Premium PCH
