They probably learned from their mistakes, but that particular model was known for being able to run too hot. I killed it by playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on it. Too much for the poor thing.

^I know exactly what you're referring to because the same happened with my brothers laptop. I've never bought an HP because I've always been advised not to.

The most hilarious thing about it was that I had an exam the day after and it died when I was turning it on to bring up the power point slides with my presentation (played that game I mentioned the night before, last thing before I closed it down, so I know what killed it - I'm even pretty sure it blue screened suddenly while playing). Fuuuuck. I had my notes, so it wasn't a problem as such, but that's some ****ty timing!

I do remember my HP overheating, alot. Two hours into anything and your lap would be on fire.

My HP laptop overheated and crashed in the middle of a multimedia performance I was giving at an experimental music event in my city a few years ago. Their timing is godawful.

As for my day, I just got back into town last night from my trip to attend the Hackers On Planet Earth conference in Manhattan with a few friends. Saw some great talks and workshops, took in the city, and now I'm glad to be home to recharge.
