Hi
I work in Riyadh Saudi Arabia as computer maintenance technician.
we repair laptops.
And in my experience i think compaq and hp and dell xps models are not good becouse them cooling system is not good and thay have nividia display cards. these systems are designed for america and europe. and our weather is hot. they have display problem. and copmaq support is not good
wat abt using cooling pad with them….can u pls suggest customized machines desinged for our weather…they all come up with cool technologies…yeh some have issues…n they can control by cooling pads
Compaq CQ61 laptop is good enough to meet a common man’s day to day requirements with in low budget. Heating problems are common in almost all brands. Use AC or at least cooling pad to avoid from it. Importantly always buy it from reliable supplier from where you are at least sure that they’ll provide you proper support at the time once you require. A knowledge able supplier is most important in my views. We are working on this issue and will share it with you guys soon. we have already covered Printers reliable vendors in Pak. market. see an live example at http://www.bidspk.com/categories.php?category=Printers-All-Kinds&parent_id=1979
