I got this laptop as a college graduation gift, since my HP of nearly three years basically died just weeks before I finished classes. I used the laptop to write stories, use the Internet, and watch Netflix. A little over a year later, the right side of the laptop gets hot only minutes after turning on, and it stops working (meaning tabs on the desktop aren't responsive, the mouse lags, and sometimes it just kicks off for no reason). I also get the blue screen death while doing absolutely nothing. This saddens me, because I use a laptop to write, and now it is useless.
