They clarified their position after the announcement.
Quote“While it was announced today that the POTATO HEAD brand name & logo are dropping the ‘MR.’ I yam proud to confirm that MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD aren’t going anywhere and will remain MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD,”
While I generally don't like brands attempting to capitalize on hot-button social issues to sell more units, their spud based pun took the wind out of my sails.

My 2nd laptop ever died today.
Damn thing was a tank survived for 7 years.
Was my daily driver for around 6 years.
Specs:
i7 3635qm
8GB DDR3 (2133 i think)
FIrst 1tb HDD that died then 500gb HDD that also died and finally a Kingston A400 500gb SSD that I moved to my "server".
Some Radeon GPU.

probably the Radeon card. my MacBook Pro did that too but for the Mac there is a pretty easy software fix, maybe you can do that for your laptop too...

Oh nope. What I think happened is that one of the mosfets responsible for power distribution on the mobo blew up due to overcurrent. The battery being so old had some issues and when I tried to power it on after a year it did not like it. I checked the suspected component with a multimeter and yes it was shorted. I could replace it but I don't think it would be worth it.

ah ok interesting... i mean that laptop is worth saving, a quadcore i7 is still very nice. even if you have no use for it you could give it away or something...
