I hate it when my laptop thinks Firefox is a game and runs it in SLI causing it to microstutter due to windowed mode.

I hate it when sometimes I turn PC on, and monitor fails to provide display and it boots successfully after a few more tries. Gives me a scare every time, since bad experience in the past tells me its the mobo going for a toss. :(

Still finding things to hate since they both rarely gives me any pain. But of late my mobo is about to die since it shut down at any moment so waiting it to die so that I can replace it since it is under warranty :-D.

When I was 12 or 13 I wanted to get a cabinet with side window...
Went to ritchie street with my uncle and thought of getting corsair/Cooler master but he took me to a Zebronics store what they had was aviator cabinet and reaper cabinet, but both were not available, only peace cabinet was available got that as I thought I will not get an opportunity...
Regret buying that for 3k at that time
I was unaware of think digit forum and Flipkart :(

Laptop: Hate the whole concept, it's a joke to me. At the same time love it for it's low power consumption.
Anyway, ON topic, I hate the display, I mean I can never find a good angle and read on! I push the lid at furthest possible to read stuffs comfortably but at the same time I miss all the details from the screen! Poor viewing angles. Yeah I know mine's cheap but still.
Desktop: The thing I hate about it is that I might suffer and die without it, period.

Two black pixels like circles in my screen. However, it's still nice that I can use it for work. :)

The build quality is not good. I always fear that one good fall can break this mediocre middle class piece of laptop.
Also i don't like the uber-poor quality display and touchpad on it. Only reason this laptop is still with me is because its a powerhouse and gives solid performance.
