Up until the four-five month mark though, it started heading downhill. The first thing I noticed, was how unbearably hot the computer would get, even when on for just a few minutes. It would literally heat my entire room, if there was no circluation. The next major problem was the battery. ... ...minutes, or it would die. I knew this wasn't normal, and looked at the website to see if anything was wrong, and sure enough, they were having a major recall on the battery for my brand notebook.
