Like really, my laptop sucks balls, it so loud, battery life sucks balls, just everything about it. First the battery is like 15 minutes, is that even possible really? I have to have the battery plugged in to play some SC. Second the damn fan just turns on for no reason. I'm just reading an article, with no music, just the browser and scrolling. And all of a sudden it turns on like it's been playing SC. It's like my damn toilet, which I also hate. My toilet is retarded, I'm just brushing my teeth, then the toilet makes a loud sound like someone flushed it, but it never DID! And my graphic card sucks, it's been lagging new generation games like SC2 and 2k10. When I start the laptop, it makes a loud sound like I put a disk in the CD Rom. And my damn keyboard sucks too, sometimes when I press it, it doesn't respond so I have to click it again, and it sucks 'cause when I'm not looking at the screen, I have to change. And my "P" button is broken too. I have to tape it down with a scotch tape, and the rubber that you press so that the P works is lose, so everytime it doesn't work I have to open up the P button and put that rubber in the middle to get it working and it sucks 'cause when I'm Protoss, I need to make probes and by the time I have to fix it, I look at the screen and I get rushed (JK not really, but I'd be pissed if I did) and by the time I fi I know it's a small flaw, but I'm still mad. It just gets overheated in games, and not meant to be a gaming laptop, well laptops aren't supposed to be gaming, but oh wells.

By the way I'm not trolling just wanted to get these emotions out lol. Peace

Clean your fan/cooling system or get a new one.

That's what always happens to me when it's not cooling properly....

Which brand are u using? How long have you been using it? If it's something like 3 years then the issues mentioned are not unacceptable.

i found this entertaining actually, lol. i'm sure you partly intended it that way.
on the other hand i sympathize with your situation
no one wants a brick laptop

with your future laptop i recommend you take out your battery when plugged in as keeping it in unnecessarily will add heat to the battery that you could have avoided. heats up battery life. this preceding advice doesn't apply though if it's one of the newer laptops that addresses this issue. a lot of the laptops thatt say they do still don't work though apparently.

For the toilet, lift the cover on the back of the tank and tighten the screw that has the floaty thing attached. If it randomly keeps doing this, it means you are wasting water and there is a leak somewhere. So ya, try and figure out the problem with that so you can save more water and perhaps lower water bill.

Nothing can beat home made desktops:

- Large Screen(s)
- Real keyboard
- Best performance
- Cheaper
- More reliable
- Can upgrade / change parts

Just make a post in this thread with your budget and people will help you to build your config. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=124628

Yeah I do like desktop not worrying about the battery life, but portable is the only thing that I would have a con of, but sometimes when I'm in the mood I like to put my laptop on my lap and watch some videos.

I share your rage. My laptop is kind of disappointing stuff, but I don't hate it (my first laptop lolol) It takes like 4 minutes to actually start up completely, If I rename; delete or copy a file It'll crash in random moments, sometimes the sound won't work (have to restart) and the fan is loud too. My battery roughly lasts 1 and half hour and luckily two. Oh, and the worst of all: I can't push or male pressure in the bottom left of it or it shuts down -_-

I wonder if I install windows 7 half of these problems may disappear.
