Сгорел вентилятор на процессоре (в принципе единственный) на ноутбуке несколько дней назад. Новый ожидается на следующей недели с ebay.com.

My notebook was broken a few days ago due to a cpu fan misfunction. A new one should be arriving next week from ebay.com.

Thanks.
Do you know some useful links related to the English grammar?

Go to bookstore and buy «English grammar in use» by Murphy. It is a very good book, available for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

laptop, будет правильнее

IMHO both terms can be used interchangeably. Indeed, the term «notebook» can refer to a few different things, while «laptop» is less blurred. But in this very case we have a context — «cpu fan» — so it's clear that «notebook» means a mobile computer.
