    could this be the problem I am having with my charging, cause it doesnt seem to want to charge when its completely charged. but then again I dunno if there is something wrong with my ac adapter or if its something that has to do with the inside of this new laptop :(

    How long does it take to complete the update process? My laptop has been dark for over 15 minutes. I read on another thread that this was for an AMD chip? I have and Intel. No where did it mention this. Now what?
