Just wanted to let anyone who recently bought a laptop with windows 8 on it to beware!! I bought mine in November 2012 and it completely crashed two days ago. Fortunately I bought a service contract with it so it will get fixed for free or will get replaced. I have no idea why this happened. I have my designs on my other computer and they are backed up also. So that is not a problem.

Glad your designs are backed up. Sorry to hear about the new computer crashing. My husband hated Windows 8 as soon as he heard aobut it.

So sorry to hear of the problem you have had. Has the crash been caused by the Windows software or the laptop itself, do you know? As frustrating as this is, at least you have the peace of mind knowing that it will be put right. Hope that it gets sorted soon.

I am sorry that this happened to you but I am very glad you had the service contract.
If you can -- find out if it is a hardware issue or the software. I would love to know more... What brand was the Laptop?

I hear nothing good about Windows 8, even from the tech.
