I brought my daughter a laptop of ebay for christmas with 7 days return garuentee and i payed through paypal.so i got the laptop and it was excellent its a compaq evo n1020v with with windows xp profesional but after the 7 days it started to freeze randomly and even though the battery doesnt hold charge (which we knew about before we brought it anyway) when i unplug the mains it dont switch off so i have to hold the power button in to turn it off then sometimes when you restart it always turns on but sometimes the screens blank or sometimes it works for a bit then freeze's suddenly so i re-installed windows xp and still it freezes , i rang hp for support they are suggesting its either the HD THE MEMORY OR THE MOTHERBOARD how much do think this will cost? should i try get my money back from paypal? can i still after 7 days garentee get it back? or can i repair it myself ?

I am going to buy a laptop, I am only gonna use the computer to play games on, I will not be connected to the internet. I was wondering if I will never be connected to the internet, will my computer still get viruses, or do you have to be connected to the internet to get viruses.

trying to pick one between two.
ive been using pc for my entire life and for mac, i m just aware of basic tools and functions.
i usually use my computer for internet and word processor. and nothing else much.
i have one pc laptop and am pretty satisfied with it except it gets too heated and freezes often.
I hope you please explain how the macbook would be better than pc for me.
because i already have two windows laptops now, i'd wanna try another type this time. but i m not really familiar with apple computers. that's why im still conflicting.

thanks for reading and i hope you leave a comment or advice for me.

There are ants in my laptop. I dont eat near it and maintain it properly. And it is not even a year old. Every time I open the laptop, i see one or two ants running around the keyboard. I had tried blowing air through the holes. And a few more emerge. When i removed the battery i saw a fes duck back into the laptop. So what can I do to clean up other than ofcourse handing it over to service personal. Will using a vaccum cleaner help? Also why are there ants inside a laptop - is there any sugary component inside? Please help me, its frustrating to see ants running across the monithor and keyboards while working.
