Just reassembled the M1210 and apply new thermal compound on the CPU; This include removing the gunk that's originally there, there we're so much it kinda overflow the surface that contacts the heatsink to the CPU -- this is bad because...

Yah, I can still hear low fan settings, i've gotta be deaf to not hear it (putting on isolated earphones). I'm just very picky that way. So far, it seems agreeable that the temperature is that high with fan on. I'm still scouring around...

I see, well there wouldn't be anyway to replicate that lapdesk environment when I go portable. Probably best to stick with a m1210 as how it's built, and factory method of keeping cool should be similar. If someone's able to get their...

Well I recently got my laptop so it's not creating any dust bunnies yet (or I hope there aren't any yet). My laptop doesn't have much of a cooling problem. It can maintain the temperature at safe levels, it's how it's doing the cooling...

I'm a new owner of the m1210 and a previous owner of the 700m. I got it from the Outlet. One thing I'm surprised about this unit is how often the fan is going off, even when idling or doing normal internet browsing, and music...

what are you trying to sell here? 2x1gig or 2x256mb....

I've searched around the forums and seems like this topic is quite old, and probably long forgotten. Either we all found a solution (quickset? from what I gather it doesn't work for the 700m) or just keeping quiet because it's not as...

I just turned it off in my start up session, on occasion I let it run, but it seems to me that it's just getting slower and slower, must be something to do with the updates.

Screensize shouldn't be a problem -- I have a 700m. If your course requires you to draw a lot of diagrams and special notation, has PPT slides, the real tedious thing is writing down notes on the PPT slides, getting the special...
