    I'm thinking of buying a m1330. I've read that it heats up pretty much. But how much does it actually heat up?

    Is there a difference in heat if you do light stuff like word processing, surfing or watching a movie compared to playing games?

    mine stays cool! Highest temp I've ever seen the CPU at is 52 degrees celcius! And that was after playing Gears of War on it for about an hour.

    Mine is never above "warm" either. My m1210 heats up more than my m1330.
