    Hello

    Ive finaly decided to buy this machine (got no choice :eek: ) and just want to ask any one who has it if its any good? Any problems i may have with it? Ive heard lots of stories about HEAT issues and build quality. Just want to know everything :D

    Here is full spec:

    * Processor speed: 1.67 GHz
    * Processor: Intel Centrino Duo
    * Screen size: 15.4 inches
    * Storage (hard drive): 80 GB 5400RPM
    * Memory (RAM): 1024 MB

    Since you plan to use it as a desktop replacement, pull the 2 lids off the bottom before you put it on the cool pad. This will make sure your machine runs nice and cool.

    I can't believe how cool mine is running right now since I accidently did something to make the fan run faster and since covering the vent hole. My hands would normally be burning right now from the touch pad, but it's barely warm.

    Before the changes, I had a hard drive, mother board, and cpu failure due to heat. All covered under warranty, but the time lost and effort was not...
