    Laptop on last legs?

    It's a lenovo P585,also I have no money to buy another computer right now. Works fine for what I used for mostly. AMD A10-4600m APU with 8gb of ram. I used this primarily as a "desktop" Have monitor and mouse/keyboard connected. I will likely try the compressed air before buying a cooler.

    Refurbished laptops OS upgrade?

    So do you guys think that laptops that are sent for repairs are upgraded to Windows 8 automatically? The same way when you send a phone in,you get it with the latest updates. Well I want Windows 8,but do not want to pay for it. Having to pay to upgrade from 7 seems like wasting money. So if...

    One more question. If I buy a laptop from Ebay from someone in Canada,will I need to pay extra.Should I be worried. Sometimes I see that if they get charged extra while shipping to the USA,then you will get charged.
