Mr. S Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I bought my laptop earlier this week, Satellite A205. I was hoping for a new battery since my laptop tends to run pretty hot. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yeah, I bought one a few months ago. I really like it, but it does get pretty warm. Also not on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzpackage Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks so much for this info! My girlfriend has one that she bought from BestBuy and she doesn't really keep up with her computer stuff very well (a woman, go figure ). I checked it for her and it's a Satellite A105 with a recalled battery on the list. She said she noticed it was acting funny from day one, and I've noticed that it doesn't hold a charge longer than 30 minutes and gets really hot, plus she's had a few problems with it that hopefully we can now attribute to it overheating. Anyway, thanks again we wouldn't have known otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperNintendoChalmers Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I bought my laptop earlier this week, Satellite A205. I was hoping for a new battery since my laptop tends to run pretty hot. Oh well. I was considering that but read it ran hot. Seemed like a very solid machine though. Great resource for notebooks. http://forum.notebookreview.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I was considering that but read it ran hot. Seemed like a very solid machine though. I was gonna go with the Dell Inspiron 1520 first, based on reviews from that site. Of course Dell kept messing up. I ordered the 10th, the ship date was the 27th, which was fine. THat got moved to the 3rd of AUgust, and then to the 28th of August. Well, my clases start on the 20th, definitely couldn't wait. Plus I heard Toshiba's are better laptops all around. The Dell was known to run quiet and cool. My Toshiba runs quiet, but gets hot. Either way, I heard Toshiba's are more solid, and I have an accidental drop/spill warranty through the retailer I purchased it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
