    I ended up buying a 1745 from Dell's outlet a couple weeks ago. It has the Intel 2.8ghz Core2 T9600 and a 1080p screen. Every now and then it locks up and takes about 30 seconds to resume whatever it is that I'm doing. After monitoring the processors activity with CPU-Z, I've realized it has been throttling like crazy. This makes no sense to me considering I'm not putting it under heavy stress or gaming.

    I started running Throttlestop and for the most part that seems to have taken care of the locking up issue. I thought only the i7 systems were the ones having problems with this though.

    I don't know what to do at this point. I'm considering contacting Dell and telling them it is having these issues and that I want to send it back for a refund. I really like this laptop though and if there's any real fix to this, I'd prefer to keep it.
