I thought you already redid the thermal paste. I wouldn't expect a little dust or even a fairly shoddy TC job to have effects this dramatic. I think there's something bigger going on, but I don't know what.

20 seconds is not too long for something to overheat. The hottest components, like the CPU, can reach maximum heat in seconds, and if their thermal solutions aren't working correctly (apparently your TC reapplication was not a success) can overheat to the point of shutdown very, very quickly. I...

Try plugging an external keyboard, the kind you'd use on a desktop PC, into one of the USB ports. If the problem stops, you'll know it's an issue with your laptop's keyboard and not a software problem. Does the mouse work normally?

Do you definitely need a laptop? A desktop would get you much better performance at the same price.

When that counter runs out, your computer will probably no longer be eligible for free service from its manufacturer. "a written guarantee given to the purchaser of a new appliance, automobile, or other item by the manufacturer or dealer, usually specifying that the manufacturer will make any...

Whoever said they're the best of the best? They look normal to me. Are you pushing them?

It's not feasible to upgrade laptop CPUs under just about any circumstances.

I'd say it depends entirely on what you're going to use it for. If you're not doing anything but word processing and Internet browsing, you might as well go for the first one. If you want to play any games or do anything demanding (Photoshop or other media editing), go for the second one.
