Then you really need a laptop cooler, they aren’t that expensive and do make a lot of difference.
I think it boils down to pot luck when buying anything. You can buy any brand of desktop/laptop and either have a good or bad experience with it. My girlfriend bought a Sony Vaio a few years ago and she had nothing but problems with it and Sony customer service is notoriously bad. We both said we would never go near Sony again.
Then i was on the hunt for a new laptop and saw a Sony Vaio, which has an 18.4 inch screen, which i prefer as i design/develop websites and the spec was very high at the time. So, i thought why not give it a go and i am not disappointed as it has served me very well although, i did recently have to replace the C Drive only 14months after purchase date, but seeing as i know how to do those type of fixes it wasn’t a huge deal for me, but i was still annoyed. My partner has also bought another Sony Vaio, which is serving her very well. Recently i bought another laptop, which is a Samsung and so far i am very happy with it.
I will say this though… I have found HP laptops to be the most reliable.
They sure do.
Especially in a hot country like India. ![]()

Yeah, Maybe that will work…
Anyhow Desktop are my preferred choice…
My last 3 systems have been HP. The one I’m using now is a HP Pavilion p6610f Desktop PC. The only changes I’ve made is to upgrade the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB and to add USB 3.0.
The one brand I would NEVER own is E-Machine, I’ve had to work on too many of them.
I have never seen an Emachines laptop but I and my friends and family have had 6 of their desktops and never had a single problem with any of them. If you don’t get the Walmart models, which use cheaper components than the ones you get elsewhere, they’re not bad machines at all.
E-Machines come with major bloatware. :![]()
The cheap components make them affordable for the un-educated masses.
I have spent many hours removing all their bloatware.
Why do you think the Wallmart sells them at such a cheap price ???
Especially Intel Celeron systems.
They don’t come with any more bloatware than other manufacturers like HP. As I said, the Walmart models are special ones built to be sold for less than their usual offerings that you can get at places like Best Buy, Office Depot, etc. I also can tell you that Walmart sells those machines at cost or sometimes less than cost. I worked there for 5 years and had access to those figures. I will admit though that since Acer took over Gateway, and by extension Emachines, they have returned to the bargain basement machines they originally were. Under Gateway, they were somewhat better.

That they do, But so does HP, it took me a good 2 hours to clean mine out.
