A brand name, anyway,
When I bought my dead laptop, an HP Compaq Presario, it was in large part bcause I remembered the Hewlett-Packard name as the mark of quality product.
Turns out, not so much.
This probably doesn't come as news to a lot of you, but apparently HP's have a real problem with overheating because a) Hp can't be arsed to install a decent fan/hat sink and b) can't be further arsed to install it properly.
This is something I will be taking up with HP, but in the meantime, as I consider a replacement, I'd be interested in hearing folks' suggestions on an affordable PC laptop. All input gratefully accepted.
An Experiment in Adjusting an Alcohol-based Reality Filter. The more beer you drink, the more the world seems to make sense. I'm not sure if this is the beer's fault, or the world's. Experiments proceed. For pigeonholing purposes, I consider myself a South Park Conservative: I believe in Loose Women and Tight Borders but I'm getting anime porn and legally mandated lounges for day laborers...further adjustment to the model may be needed. e-mail me at slayerdaddy-AT-yahoo.com
