i've found out that the quite laptop i have is only quite due to the fan settings HP setup, i ran civilization 5 on it for a few hours and put it down on the sofa and it initiated a thermal shutdown, got a big message saying bios has shutdown computer as t=>90 or something like that

EDIT:GREAT NEWS, i plugged it into the usb where it was stuck on charge mode, unfortunately when my phone charges it gets warm, there's now condensation or something that looks very similar on the touch screen, but more importantly it works!!!

the touch screen started working on it's own accord when i decided to charge the battery

old stuff


http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/toshiba...32329-pdt.html

Looks to be much better then my first choice, slower proccesor in single threaded performance but 10x the amount of shaders on the graphics core should make it so much better for gaming, and seeing as i'm actually going to be buying around December and that the price of tech drops, who knows, i may be able to get an a8 by that time

The dell is, however, large, heavy, and the battery life is half of that the toshiba has (2-3 hours on dell vs 5 1/2 hours on toshiba)

i do want the specs of the dell, but at the same time i already have a desktop, so i don't exactly want a laptop i can only use around the house

The toshiba also has ram

just got to hope that by December/January time i can have a laptop with the performance of the dell at the battery life of the toshiba

I have half as much, but I don't watch that many "videos" to need 2.57Gb worth of ram. You might be suffering from memory leak, take a look at the problem?

Tbh I think 13 inch laptops are better than 15.6 in terms of mobility, but not many people pack enough hardware into 13" form, and they are quite expensive in this regard.
