~dheerajnagpal: their Geek squad is more like a highway robbery squad. *They took my (in-warranty) laptop and said that they will ship it to Asus for getting fixed and told me it will cost **$ for shipping. After ** days, they give me a bill of ***$ and said that it will cost ***$ to fix the laptop since Asus is not covering it under warranty.
