OK, so my laptop is old and I'm looking for a replacement. Currently it tends to shut down all on its own, and doesn't appear to be overheating - it actually feels cool. It shut down twice in less than an hour today.
So is it more likely that the battery is bad, the motherboard is dying, or the hard drive is dying (again)? It's on its second HD but this one is about 5 years old.
And just for shits & giggles, does anybody recommend a particular brand? I'm not looking for a Chromebook, I just want a not-too-expensive laptop to use for a couple years. Money is a big factor right now.
