Yes.

It got zapped (probably due to the bad power in our house). The
motherboard got fried. It wasn't worth trying to get it fixed -- getting
a new laptop was the same price.
Unfortunately, the new laptop was *too* new and the latest Ubuntu wouldn't
run on it. I'm presently running the unstable version of Ubuntu and a
number of things do not work, but it's usable.
I wish I had got a used laptop instead. It would've saved me a lot of
trouble.
