Another thing, my battery doesn't seem to be changeable, which doesn't matter to me. As I never had good luck with inserting new batteries into phones or laptops anyways even if I recalibrated them. It seems once the device learns the battery is shot bad, it thinks every further battery is the same.

Going back to the TC. This is why I spent likely more on this laptop because I wanted something better than just some winky do winky don't laptop. I'd at least like to try and run some graphic intensive games and see what happens. I can't imagine a 600 dollar laptop being that good for any sort of gaming unless it's indie titles. I know TC did say he just wanted to play WoW on minimum settings but still. Things have moved on since the eMachines, but that was literally just throwing money away.

Batteries can be changeable on a laptop, but newer laptops have gone the route of placing them inside the chassis instead of the kind that is a simple pop and swap that you would see from the mid 2000s. I don't know why they went that route, but I'm assuming its to save on space since a bare battery without the fancy shell doesn't take up much room.
