    BL-5C inflates / bloates / expandes

    It may not be listed as defective on the website but that does not mean it isn't. It could also be damaged/bloated due to overcharging. Prsonally, if it is starting to bloat or if it gets very hot during charging, I would replace it as soon as possible.
    I would not take the risk.

  3. Bit the bullet, and ordered my laptop!!

    In the meantime, I'm thinking about a list of "indispensible software" to install... while trying to avoid bloat-ware.

    Here's my list. Any suggestions welcome. (OS will be Vista Home Premium x64 so they must be 64bit compatible)

    - Avast Antivirus
    - Spyware Doctor

    (any better suggestions for the above two?)

    - CPU-Z
    - GPU-Z
    - SIW
    - 3DMark 06 (vantage... I think the last time I checked it wasn't free or I'm confusing it with something else?)
    - SuperPi
    - CoreTemp
    - ATITool (mainly for GPU temperature monitoring)
    - Piriform Defraggler

    - Firefox
    - Fraps

    Am I missing out something, and where do you suggest I could improve?

    Where is the bloat?

    Microsoft Windows 10 App Store

    Hi,

    One reason why your Windows Store is not working is because of too much cache. This might be bloating the app causing it not to function efficiently. We suggest that you try to clear the Store cache. After that, perform the steps below:

    • Right click on the Start menu.
    • Click Run.
    • Type WSReset.exe.
    Let us know if you need further assistance.
