    How good is the cooling on this laptop?

    I might be getting a version with an i3-2310m, will this bottleneck the gt 555m?

    I saw someone with an i7 2630QM reaching 93c when benchmarking!

    and i think there will be a slight bottleneck with high settings on cpu demanding games, just not a big performace impact

    My 2410M usually stays between 90-95C while using throttlestop to keep it in turbo mode. The GPU hovers around 92-93C. I'm thinking of buying some aftermarket thermal paste to see if can lower the temperature a bit.
