the most bad lap top gets hot and broke

I purchased this with 160 Gb HD and 2 GB memory and optical drive. The screen is atrocious - very narrow viewing angles and lots of light leakage around the edges so the image is faded. Cannot watch a video on it - especially in dark conditions because of the uneven lighting. The keyboard is the nosiest I have ever heard and bends with each key stroke with a very poor feed back. It takes 5 mins to boot up and will not properly shut down and the battery lasts about 40 mins and gets hot. AVOID
