# I fix PCs / Laptops.
Rarely do I see a Toshiba come in to the shop for repairs unless it has been physically abused.

# that's pretty much the impression I was forming

I do have a bug up my arse about dell, mainly from having dodgy reconditioned rental desktop machines at work, which I manage to break, regularly
why, this very machine spontaneously rebooted six times yesterday, although today it has been just fine
need to get my shit off the hard drive pretty soon

# That looks like a very accurate graph
HP had some real trouble 2-3 years ago with laptops and small form desktops. System boards were just crapping out so much that HP was extending their 1 year warranty to 2 years (on selected models of course)

# Acer and Dell seems to be crapped together in the same sweatshop...
Once I fixed an Acer I used a Dell guide and the guts were *exactly* the same toys'r'us plastic junk in both brands...
The poor thing did shut down after a short while because of overheating and what did it was a quite thick plastic film between the cpu and heatsink...
*Bravo*

# I had a customer try holding the heatsink to the CPU with double-stick tape
then wondered why his PC fried
