That's interesting. Maybe their products work better in certain environments than others? Maybe the overheating happens because I live in a 45 degrees environment... or something. Every time I ask for recommendations [from people who live here] I'm always told to avoid HP. I always ignored their advice until I got that laptop, but then it turned out damaged and I returned it, so I'm becoming more trusting of such floating rumors, because they usually have some basis. On the other hand, Lenovo topped the list of most praised brand over here. And I personally had a great experience with a laptop of theirs that I bought for $800 a few years back, it was perfect for gaming with a 1080p display and the capabilities to run latest games on very high settings, but... it got stolen.

I haven't really seen any more issues in HP than any others. To be honest, I though HP was one of the better ones. I have had a few students have problems with HP ones, I have had many many more students have issues [hardware issues] with Acer ones than any others. I have seen issues with Sony ones and IBM/Thinkpad as well. I could probably name a few other makes as well, but Acer tops the list, not HP.Click to expand...
I assume you have air conditioning? Few places I have been to that are that hot don't rely on air con. Laptops are no different in that aspect.Lun said:That's interesting.

I live in the UK and I suspect if it made it to that temperature the entire world would know about!
