My girlfriends Toshiba Satellite A30 is on the way out as it keeps over-heating , so have to use a program to lower the cpu speed. this means i cant format it.
So shes asked me to look for a new laptop for her. She doesnt use it for anything heavy, just word, internet, watching movies and burning cd/dvds.
Really looking for something better than the A30.
What would youre advice be?
cheers
Im looking to buy one from here soon, on the next payday :)

crack the lappy open, clean out the Heatsink, screw it back together and youll probably have no issues.
Im finding this a lot lately, mainly down to the fac tlaptops ar emor common. Same problem as on a desktop machine, just a little more fiddly to fix.

Could just need cleaning mate. Rip the laptop open, remove the heatsink give it a good going at with a air duster and a toothbrush, apply fresh artic silver to the processor, and replace heatsink. :) Also give the dust filter meshes a good clean out :)
Edit: Ahh... theres a lot that can be said for scrolling down, Beaker said it before me :D
