Seriously. Classic Shell. It's the only way to do Win 8, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe it's better if you're not very familiar with computers and so have to learn the whole thing anyway, I don't know. I've been working on computers for about 20 years, most of that on a Windows OS, and it's freaking ridiculous that when I was helping Kelly with something on her computer, I had to go to Google to find out how to open the CONTROL PANEL because I couldn't find it. Seriously. That's completely unacceptable to me.
As far as your edit, it probably has something to do with product lines, yeah. I don't know what line Kelly has, just that hers was a cheap laptop. She really only uses it for some light browsing and playing older games I set her up with, so she didn't need anything complicated. Maybe I got lucky with Toshiba before, I don't know. I'd rather not think that just because I just bought another one, though? XD But they do run hot. I'll give you that.
