First, did you factory reset or did you do a reinstall through Windows? That's a big difference. If you factory reset, then it's extremely unusual that your experience is worse than before. If you reinstalled, then you need to install all drivers. Windows is usually OK doing that, like a basic...

Without any information about what the laptop will be used for (different dads do different things, but I'm guessing he checks email and read news). And with no information about the different CPUs and RAM no one can give you THE answer. A laptop with 6GB of 1066MHz RAM and a i3 1.2GHz CPU is...

It's usually not as simple to just move a program, reinstalling and choosing a different location would be your best option. Many programs will still take up some space under your users profile which resides under C: (the Windows partition) and those files will still not move, unless you...

Keyboards tend to stop working when they suffer trauma such as gamer-rage or caffeine overload. What events led up to the malfunction of the keyboard?

If you're using the laptop as a desktop (it has a permanent spot on your desk or kitchentable for example) like 90% of the population* then you actually don't even need a battery. Have it plugged in at all times. To answer question 2, yeah it's perfectly fine and your laptop don't mind it at...

Do you mean that the lens physically dropped behind the bezel of the screen? If you're talking about the program opening and then dissapearing behind other windows, click the program on the taskbar to bring it back up.

Maybe you/your brother (unclear who this thread is for) should start playing the games before thinking you need programs... Since it's a laptop I'm assuming you're not connecting another monitor, because if you would then you could just have bought an actual computer for half the prize and...

I deactivated the ATI gpu so the laptop uses the processor (Intel HD Graphics). So yeah, guess you were right about the GPU failing :) Now the problem is to make sure the laptop stops reactivating ATI...

But the GPU renders perfectly fine to an external monitor...
