yes they make gaming laptops... which i later found out are just up specced clevo laptops.
rivals to alienware etc.
i wanted a high end pc that was mobile... in hindsight i would have built another powerhouse desktop but after being on an alienware and loving the portability etc to be able to take my work where ever i went i chose the rock laptop.
i have a 3 year warranty on it but the company have gone bankrupt and ive been told that for at least 14 days no pc will be taken in or given back.
some people have thier laptops still at rock but cannot get tham back as the delivery company is owed money etc
its a rock ctx pro dual core 2.3ghx 2gb ram 712mb graphics.

does anyone have a clue about pc repairs? as to how much it would roughly cost for a pc company to look at it?
do they have set fees or is it a per hour thing? ive never used a pc company before...
i might get it fixed then sell it for whatever i can and build a new pc myself.

my mum worked for hsbc for some years and reckons i dont have a chance.
as its over a year it would be unlikely i would get maney back etc and they would ask me to wait until all the bankrupcy stuff has been dealt with.
reading more about rock it seems an employee stole a load of equipment which meant they couldnt fulfill orders which in turn meant suppliers didnt get paid, they had accounts stopped so couldnt build more pc's and due to this had no income so went broke.
nightmare is a good word to sum this up.

i'd always go for big brand lappys like alienware, dell xps, tosh, etc

well rock are as big as alienware, they use some of the same pc's
alienware are just rebranded machines... and dell come from factories in china which i can buy (as long as i buy 50 at a time)
tiny etc were a big company but they went broke i believe... its a shame, nothing seems to be safe at the moment.

Thats alot of money for a laptop.
I persoanlly never pay more than £500 for a pc or laptop,my latest is the free laptop with AOL,and i have never had any probs.
I actually think its pretty decent considering i got it free and my bro pays the AOL bill.

I think we are safer due to the fact that Tiny went to the ****ter to be honest.

I fix laptops mate, if its just a dodgy monitor connection its easily fixed. Sounds more like a loose gfx bus connection, but impossible to say without seeing it.

very true lol.
ive been doing some digging, and there are only about 3 big computer manufacturers in the world. clevo make most of the laptops that everyone buys, alienware, rock, saber, etc etc all from clevo.
and looking into chinese companies things like hp, gateway, dell, etc are all made by one or 2 factories.
ive already got contact details for selling leads in china for dell and hp pc's i can buy them either branded as dell or with my own logo on with a minimum 50pc order size.
now i know from experience this is a guide as when i imported guages they said i had to buy 2000 but i actually bought 32 on my first order.
i cant see it being that hard to mirror what rock setup.
basically you place an order, and over the space of 2 weeks they order the parts, get them shipped and then your pc arrives.
they were just the middle men, and the 72 hour times they quoted were because they saved up a small stock of machines.
exactly the same as dell, only they have a much larger stock.
