desktop replacement (and not to be moved around)

Nov 24, 2006

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: powerful

Opinion:
bought this second hand, so the previous owner's treatment might affect things.

this is the fastest laptop I've ever own, but also the heaviest. definitely desktop replacement. fast and powerful, but the list of downsides is longer. its so hot, you would never want to put it on your lap. its so noisy, so prepare to get comment from people around you.

Problems Problems

Pros: 6
Cons: 9
Opinion:
I have been impressed on the whole with is performance but as the machine gets older, problems with overheating seems to become more and more of a problem. Battery lasts little more that an hour and now my computer shuts down 9 or 10 times a day. Overheating probabaly.........anyone know how to fix this problem?

Computer is very loud. Computer overheats with high-powered applications. Not really a laptop - more of a desktop than anything else. Battery life is no good. Computer is okay for its price i guess.
