intel(R)pentium(R)CPU2117U@1.80GHz
4GB RAM
64-BIT OPERATING SYSTEM,x64 BASED PROCESSOR

I don't know how much 75000 Naira is worth if converted to dollars since am not a Nigerian, but the laptop I'd recommend is Mac by apple.They go for anything from $1000. or more depending on the brand but are well worth the cost.

Augustinaz: Run away from HP laptops. HP laptops cause heating problems. I have purchase two HP laptops and they both have heating problems. They shut down when the laptops over heat. They are manufacturers defects. Run from HP Laptops. A Sony Laptop is better.
Bros, I use Hp laptops and other brands. I can tell you this with all confidence that Hp laptops that cause the heating problems are obviously not for the region you are living. Hp manufacture laptops for regions; say for instance, South Africa. You don't expect the weather condition for SA to be like that of Nigeria; do you? Same thing goes for imported laptops from temperate western and European countries by relatives living there. When they get here, we expect them to function like other models made for tropic regions like ours. And mind you, Hp will not stop you from using it in regions they aren't made for. The choice is simply yours!

So, if your laptop is overheating, just have your AC powered on and you'll see the difference.

I always thought Dell laptops were the most reliable until I read this topic and saw all those people recommending Toshiba. So I did a little googling and came up with this:

hopefullman: Go for dell.it's very rugged.i run loads of engring software without any problem.i have been using mine now for 4yrs without problem.run from hp.two of my brother's high end hp laptop packed up recently
It's difficult to just generalise when it comes to laptops. Everyone in my house has an hp laptop. I have used mine intensively for 4 years: by intensively I mean - rendering video premiere pro and after effects ,running time domain simulations in matlab and I only shut it down about 1ce in 2 weeks. It started overheating around July but not surprised considering how I have used it. I used DELL previously but had battery and Mother board issues after 1 year. I bought both from uk. I also have friends that have used dell for 4 years so it's almost difficult to give an objective answer to OP

Waspy: Bro, where can one get that, i mean the used Macbook?

Go to computer village and ask for the main importers. Give him your specs and he should be able to get you a good one within a couple of days.
Ensure it is certified and not refurbished.

You bought a made for Nigeria HP laptop. Most probably has to do with the processor. May I know the type of processor you have?

akmaldini: Buy a HP pavilion DV6000..

This is an old model with mother board issue. The more recent versions DV2 to DV6 series has mitigated those faults.

There is nothing wrong with a refurbished laptop only if you know it is refurbished. I bought a tab in USA that was refurbished. Been using it well without any issues. It simply means that the electronic device was sent back to the lab to verify if it's ok. When u see that tag on the body, it means it has no defects.

Hey Bro!
Sorry I have to digress a little. your username suggests you are a fan of Dr Tuesday Lobsang Rampa.
I love reading his books.

the most foolish and pride inspired comment I have ever seen on Nairaland,so without ac I shouldn't use a laptop right?

Students searching for the best laptops for engineering need a lot of power. But they need a few other things as well. Most matriculating minds on their way back to school need to find that sweet spot between performance and price and should look at laptops ideal for college.
