to stop the over heating get a fan to blow straight on it,i have even seen the casing on desktops taken off blowing directly on the pc.
my wife as a older laptop and gave it to her mom without any problems!
the only trouble you will have is getting them to know what there doing with it,so a laptop with it all built in will cut out and problems.
why not try getting a reconditioned one sent to them and see how it goes?
You've all gave me a lot to think about now. Maybe laptop is the way to go?Originally Posted by bornatbirth
Taking the casing offfall about airflow surely. Just hope one of the kids in the house doesn't move the fans
With a laptop we have found the best way is to use them with a docking station if you have one to hand or simply a cheap usb hub so you use a seperate mouse and keyboard. Then when a coffe mate or ice tea end sup on the laptop you have the laptops and can buy a new one for not a lot when possible.
Many of our work laptops look pristine as most are just slotted in and out of a docking station and only occasionally used as a portable laptop.
You can get little stands on which laptops can sit (or just make one) get a cheap electric fan and a frame lifting the laptop of the table and hey presto.
The heat won't knock out a laptop straight off but you may get it cut out if a thermal protection device is tripped, hard disks don't like to much heat in particular as do all the parts of a pc. Many laptops fan outlets and inlets are at the bottom part of the unit so if raised on a stand with good airflow they operate far cooler. I know my dells heat my trousers a tad to much on 07.18 some mornings
Also in general laptops use less power than desktops. With phills having less devices this can make a bigger difference to bills.
A laptop if only used now and then may be a good idea as it can be locked up when not used and hidden if needed. Also you dont need a dedicated area, the dinner table can be used etc.
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
the only thing that catches my attention are the 500 gb seagate hdd and 16" AOC lcd monitor. the rest sounds generic and
and oh, did they give you an assurance that all parts are brand new? or refurbished? this is a very common fraud advertisements, they post affordable computers only to find out those computers are scrap from big companies like call centers and they just reconditioned it to make it look good.
