If you are actually looking for a good laptop the SH/CH thread should be able to get you rolling. (If your use case is common you can probably even lurk the model number) https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3552651 If we are just making fun of how a good 90% of laptops are worthless pieces of poo poo carry on. Seriously I loving hate touching any laptop any family member says they are having problems with. Why did you pick this it's flimsy and looks like you could knock it over when you sigh at yet another out of memory error because they soldered in 2x2GB locking you into 4GB forever.

purplestuffedworm posted:Laptops have gone from moderately crap to honestly a scam in the last decade, like the last three my husband and I have bought ended up unusable within the years. After the last $1000 one died, I bought a $300 Lenovo that is perfectly adequate for anything that's not gaming or complex Blender rendering. I'll build a desktop for those purposes as sun as graphics card prices come back down to earth (lol). Big fan of the Lenovo Thinkpad T series with metal frame. I've watched one be chucked like a frisby all while still streaming a youtube video hit a wall take out a chunk of brick and land open still playing the drat video like nothing happened. Laptop damages: scuff mark. I laugh at your Apple Care this thing doesn't need coverage. (I'm sure someone could find a way to destroy one) At least as far as using a laptop, nothing gives the freedom of that full desktop experience or the mobility of the phone. What is the point of a laptop?

Replacing paste can be useful, if you use good stuff when you install it it should be good for a decade but who builds a laptop? Who tears down a laptop for maintenance? (They never close the same again) If your already in there for something else though sure.
