Not sure then =/

Well off topic i got feeling my laptop won't last very long the temps are always above 60 degrees even idle and just using its wireless for my PS3.

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!!!

Well i can see why lol mine a HP laptop too,curses.
Oh wow lol.

Might not have dried completely inside or the oven killed it. I mean the touch screen.

Time to send it in and have the real experts attempt to bring it back to life.

HTC warranty must be excellent if they will take it back. Just dont let them know it was in an oven lol.

no, against my normal status regarding warantys (they're not worth it normally) i got one of those aftermarket warranty on it that t-mobile try to sell you when you buy it

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

Spoiler: old stuff

i really like this laptop --> http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/21374...rce=0&searchstring=g6-1133sa+&urlrefer=search

really high spec for the price, 3ghz phenom ii x2 works out just under i5 (dual core) speed which is really good for an AMD procesor with a 35w TDP

4250 graphics aren't amazing but they're better then intel HD and i think the laptop is only 1366 x 768 anyway so it should power through most things, if intel HD can do civ 5 i'm sure this can

EDIT:Big question, will there be anymore poccesors and graphics cards released for the mobile market this year

Double Edit: how good is this compared to the 4250 -->http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6520G.55734.0.html

Triple edit: apparently it will run BC2, i know the llano a6 isn't as fast as

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/toshiba-satellite-l755d-12l-15-6-laptop-red-10732329-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

Your better off spending £400 on this dell laptop,which has the overall better specs.

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

 

[Fourstaff]

The toshiba also has ram

My laptop also has ram :3

 

[cheesy999]

My laptop also has ram :3

but is it 6GB of the stuff (i know 6gb is unnecessary but the dell only has 3 which isn't too much considering i'm using 2.57 Gb just browsing the internet at the moment) overall i want 4GB+ of ram in a laptop, or else i'll end up having to upgrade very quickly

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?

i have the biggest memory leak in the world, windows vista

Windows Vista is not that bad actually, after SP1 and the shittons of patches.

 

[cheesy999]

Windows Vista is not that bad actually, after SP1 and the shittons of patches at least.

in that case any idea where the ram usage is coming from?

quick check see's that the bowsers only using 370MB by itself

get an 13 inch laptop, they are more portable

no,i've had to carry a 15.6" laptop about a mile or so down the road so i could get internet access yesterday, i have no problem with 15.6" so long as their not really heavy bricks

 

[Fourstaff]

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.

Its cool. I usually dont know what day it is if i havent been getting enough sleep

 

[Bo$$]

i was just looking that a Mobility 4330 is the same as HD 4570 minus clock speeds, i am pretty excited, how can i overclock a mobility card?
if i get around 600core im all set
