National brand laptops on the market today; Dell, HP, Toshiba, Compaq and Sony, to name some popular companies, DO NOT manufacture their own computers.
These companies purchase their laptops from ODM (Original Design Manufacturers), such as Clevo, Compal, Asus, MSI, Quanta, Wistron, Mitac, Arima and Inventec.
These ODM’s design and manufacture various models and re-sell to the national brand companies as a barebone system.
Dell, Toshiba and the others previously mentioned; then customize these systems with processors, hard drives, RAM, DVD drives, wireless, bluetooth, along with other internal accessories, then install a Microsoft Operating system; label it and market these computers as their own!
Most of these national brand computer companies also force you to purchase a Microsoft operating system — if you already have one or not! No other options for o/s are standard on these computers.
Over the last few years, national brand computer companies are striving for the lowest cost units, their base or bare-bones machines are more stripped down than ever before!

A new computer right out of the box is an engineering marvel. Programs and files load with lightening speed. Unfortunately, computers do not remain in this pristine condition for very long. You do not notice it at first, but usually sooner rather than later that peppy performance is gone.
Chips, inside your computer, especially the CPU, create heat. As electrons race through all of those miniature circuits, they encounter subatomic resistance. That resistance, and the heat it produces, really adds up when you multiply it by all of the electrons bumping around in there. A constant flow of air over your system’s various components keeps them at an operational temperature to prevent overheating yet manage the heat build up.
It’s amazing how many computers I see come into my shop for repair with the same problem. Fake antivirus alerts, pop-ups, and even a fake blue screen of death!
