    Which parts are you specifically looking to monitor?

    HWMonitor gives you the readings of your CPU, GPU and HDD. If any of those are your concerns, I'd recommend it.

    hwinfo32 and hwmonitor.
    hwmonitor is lighter on resources and gives you basic temp info
    hwinfo32 also has temp sensors but also has a main system info program that will tell you most everything about your laptop

    If you want a program that stays in your system tray, Core Temp is a nice CPU temp monitoring program.

    SIW is a more comprehensive monitor which also includes temps.
