My Laptop finally decided to give up. It was a HP pavilion, one of the worst laptops I have ever had. Two years ago it looked like state of the art. A slick shiny finnish and a touch screen!
In the beginning it was still fast (so I thought) but over time it got slower and slower.
The touch screen seemed nice but I noticed that I would hardly use it. It was impractical.
Another thing I found out was, whenever I was on other people’s laptop I started swipping the screen frantically, only to found out after 10 minutes it wasn’t a touch screen.
About a year ago it started to get hot and noisy, it sounded like a boeing 747 was firing it’s engines on the runway ready to take off. And the casing was getting so hot sometimes it would spontaneously shut itself off.
I read a lot of people had the same problem and HP never came with a solution. So never again!
Yesterday It gave up, reporting the fan wasn’t working so no cooling at all.
Now I bought a Lenovo. It is fast cold and more important dead silent, to the point I am wondering whether there is even a fan in there?
Oh I do occasionally swipe the screen, old habits won’t die.
Damn you HP!
