    If he had bought it in India and billed it in my name, then I would've got 15% :D Yup yup. Feel free to uninstall them.

    Yeah, maybe the GPU is overheating due to a heatsink failure or the chip is screwed. RIPlacement might be the best thing to do.

    TBH, the quality of hardware being used in electronic products these days is quite poor compared to about 10 years ago. That's the reason why laptops are at least affordable in this age. It's the same with printers. I've seen some customers using a 10 year or older printers and they're still...

    Have you considered buying a cooling pad rather than a new laptop? Also, cleaning the ventilation ducts can prevent overheating problems. I hope you've tried that too.

    Do a LOT of researching about the manufacturer you plan to go with, they quality of support they provide in your region, and the reliability of the products themselves. It's VERY easy to find negative feedback about products and manufacturers. Googling for "HP sucks" or "<random manufacturer>...

    Then you'll need to look into the laptops for business purposes. Cos AFAIK, Consumer grade laptops are nowhere close to being as rugged as business or professional grade notebooks. Hell, if you can somehow afford a military grade notebook, then it's the perfect one you'll need. I'll be getting a...

    I don't think so. First, it's not my dept of interest. Second, We sell SO many of them in the US alone, it just doesn't make a difference. EMEA is definitely a region where HP is not a leader. But America provides enough profit anyway. BTW, I agree with Dru here. Don't listen to the Mac...
