Laptops are just fickle. Portability and moving parts is not a good combo, regardless of the brand. It's one of the few things you should get extended warranties for.

you have HP? and it sucks that bad? My older sister has an HP and hers is totally fine, for some reason I can never use a laptop while lying down, I have to be sitting upright.

I'll spare you my horror story of actually trying to send it in for repair, but once I finally did get my laptop shipped off to HP, it was because the display had completely stopped working. So I get it back expecting them to have, you know, checked out the whole laptop to make sure it's perfectly functional before sending it back, lest I have to sent it back again. The day I got it back, the fan got even worse. It was kind of bad to begin with but now I'm pretty sure it doesn't work at all and I sent it in... late April?

Yeah HP sucks. :( I think they were better before but now I could never recommend their notebooks.

One of the fans in my laptop is broken because HP sucks. I have a cooling pad, though. Takes up a USB port but keeps the laptop from frying itself so it's a fair trade. It's also nice to be able to use it on my bed or lap and not have to worry about overheating at all. (Mind you, my laptop can overheat on a clear surface with no obstructions so... <_<)

That's because we have the same laptop, Erica :[ dv6000, right?
 
My Mac had overheating problems, but that was confident only to those produced in the same batch. They replaced my laptop with a brand new one. But then the E key fell of like the next day. XD But, got a new one put on.

Now, I should get my MagSafe Adapter (basically the power cord) replaced. The end is frayed a bit (because I'm stupid and never have my laptop unpluged which caused the plug to tear and totally destroy my battery life @_@)
 
I know right? my cousin has one and like if my mouse goes off then the window will be disabled and I never knew that if ur mouse goes to the bottom then you'd pop up the menu, I'd have to go to recent programs or something like that to find the safari explorer thing.
 
The first time you use it yeah. When I got mine I was basically going "Where the heck is my task bar?" XD I don't find it any different in difficulty, just different. Mac OS predates Windows anyway. Does some things better, but Windows have such a large userbase - it has some niches that it just does better because the software is there. I'm fine with both OSes.

Bamachi - The point of a Mac is easy multitasking, which is why all windows are in focus so to speak. And the dock can be placed anywhere, not just the bottom. Safari can be placed there for easy access. I use QuickSilver to launch my apps.
 
yeah but when I have to go out I take my laptop with me, I use it on the skytrain and when I'm chilling in starbucks, it comes in handy.
 
there are mouses for laptops? thats interesting but how do you move your mouse when theres no area for it? like if your sitting on a skytrain? Sitting on tables is an exception.
 
when I use my Laptop its mostly on the skytrain, but for some reason a lot of ppl stare which annoys me.
 
What's a skytrain? This is a strange concept for me.
 
well its like a train that has high rise tracks, I think they're only in BC tho cuz I haven't seen them anywhere else, but yes its also like a metro train. and they're somewhat faster than a subway.
