This afternoon I got an email saying that my laptop is back in the store again. Asus/the repair company have replaced the mother board and the laptop's hard drive. I don't have to pay anything because the product's warranty covered it. That's basically the good news..
.. but ja, missing the hard drive kinda sucks, I'm thinking now. Hope that the old one will be in the store also when I'm going to pick the thing up again tomorrow.
