Had an HP that used to boil up like a fucking kettle even with minimal use. This was due to a fault that the fuckers at HP REFUSED to do anything about. Numerous costly services/chargers/batteries and a heating stand later it finally died on me for good.

Brought another HP (long story)... but the LCD screen cracked really easily when I banged a coffee mug on the corner of it...and the cost to replace it is more than the laptop itself is now worth...

so...I'm done with HP.

What Laptops have you guys got/had. Which are good for browsing/word processing and over heat LEAST?

*Don't really give a shit about games or other stuff that it takes a space station to run properly...

Just brought a flat and am gonna be living off a bread and water within it so a MAC is probably beyond my means...What else is good...?

Sonys? Toshibas? Samsung?

Names and models of anything that's working for ya would be great lads...many thanks.
