You've obviously never purchased one of the 5 year onsite NBD warranties from Dell then. I've had numerous laptops repaired all over the states for our workers. Next day service, no hastle other that co-ordinating with thier 3rd party companies that perform the repairs to get in touch with the person holding the broken laptop. The extra warranty cost is easily worth it over having to ship laptops off to be repaired.

I bought a Dell for my daughter at college and a Toshiba for my son at college, both of them picked the laptop they wanted. The Dell is just over three years no problems. The Toshiba 4 months and still good. My wife has a Dell error free for 3 years. Before that she had a Toshiba for 4 years no problems. I do not buy a brand, I buy what has the options I want.

Just like cars, they're all the same with options, fancy bells and whistles, you can add.

NOT ALL laptops do not have problems.

As for heat, get a cooling pad


I don't understand the point of buying a product if I need another to solve what is an easily solvable (on their end) problem. The first thing Apple can do to reduce heating issues is to stop putting a massive glob of thermal grease on the chips. A lot of reports I've seen where people take apart their Macs and redo the grease application saw a temperature drop of at least 10-20C.

So you can have instantly cooler laptops and use less supply in manufacturing. It's win-win for everyone.

Also I'm actually glad to purchase cooler laptops. Both notebooks I've owned can be used as a laptop because they run that cool. But you can't have an Apple laptop, no no, Apple even said the reason they're called notebooks is because they're too hot for laps.

Every laptop has heating issues when you run a stress test
