I can't imagine letting my friends know that I need a new laptop. There's no pride in that, in fact if they did find out that I needed a new laptop and offered me theirs, I would insist on paying for it.

I feel bad enough asking people for rides or when people offer to give me things or to buy me lunch. I even feel marginally guilty bumming cigarettes. Perhaps I have a complex, or maybe I just don't have the grace to ask people for things without thinking of myself as a mooch.
