@vaidajm I used to always get Dell, but lately it has become more hit and miss: you either get an eternal model, or one that breaks after 5 minutes of moderate use. I've been looking for a solid alternative since, no luck yet.For your current machine, I assume the fans still work? In my Lenovo the fan failed *twice* (also I have to make sure the GPU is properly initialized or it overheats for some reason but I doubt that's the issue you're having).
