Toshiba Sucks!!

So, since the last post.. i managed to get back my Toshiba laptop, eveything worked fine.. installed my software.. downloaded around 10 movies (i managed to get hold of the Oscar best movie nominees), music etc.. everything back to normal.. until the Following friday..

*Cooling Fan ERROR.. Please Shut Down*

and thats the last i saw of my laptop.. 3 months ago i would have defended Toshiba laptops, as mine havent crashed for 2 and a half years.. but when it did.. i kept on crashin. I couldnt take it anymore.. Apparently, my friends Toshiba laptops also had simialar problems.. hard disk scratched.. cooling fan (this seems to be a common problem, all my friends who have Toshibas say that when they keep thr laptop on for over 6hours, thr would be a noise coming from the processor). My advice is.. SELL before your warranty finishes. and hope to God that when u put it on for your buyer, thr will be no noise.

So, now my laptop is with the Toshiba service centre.. for the last 1.5 weeks.. bloody hell.. good thing is the impulsive shopper in me, went and bought a desktop.. best decision i have made.. cost me $1000 (hopefully can recover at least $800 once i sell my laptop). here are the specs:

P4 2.8Ghz processor
G-byte Motherboard (intergrated graphics and sound)
1GB RAM
80 GB HD
Imation DVD-RW
Acer 17inch LCD

Hopefully, i can save up and get a Graphics card during the coming holidays..
