I just hate starting over with a new computer after getting this one just how I want it. since Windows Live Mail is no longer available I have to start with a new e-mail program as well. at least I have a copy of all my e-mail addresses so it is just a matter copying them over. I will have to start looking over the computers again. wally world have an HP for about $350 which is in my price range.

Cooling fans on laptops are not that difficult to replace, but it's sometimes difficult to find the right fan. I've replaced a couple, and it took some searching to locate the right part. Desktop cooling fans, on the other hand, are readily available and cheap.
It may just be bad luck, but I have found HP laptops to be problematic. I've had much better luck with Dell, Acer, or Lenovo. Acer is often the least expensive brand available feature for feature.
