The place to discuss anything to do with computers, software, hardware, no matter how basic or technical. We all use this stuff, but we don't always understand it!
That's good to hear, pambon. Thought it was just me - my ailing pc is really limping along now and if it had legs it would definitely be on the last of them!
So now I've got to locate a new laptop, pdq .... any thoughts, anyone?
My guru has suggested an Asus. My offspring is pushing me for a Mac, which is out as I don't think I or my brain can handle one! Especially with no-one to help me understand it's workings!

+1. If I could afford one, I'd get a macbook air, otherwise Asus would be my first choice. I regret buying my HP, constant overheating. Asus would be my first Windows choice, definitely.

I've got an HP EliteBook Mobile Workstation - constantly overheating too and on its last legs I fear.
I had a Compaq before which also overheated all the time and lasted all of 2 years. Compaq are HP. Why I thought the HP brand would be any better I don't know when they are all effectively the same thing. My Sony Vaio was lovely and quiet in comparison.
Looking seriously at refurbed macbooks now....
My macbook cost me 580€ when I got it, nearly new, 4 years ago. I thought I'd killed and looked for a replacement, and they were still the same price. And I still love it more than any other piece of kit I've got.
