My best advice is to assess what you will be using the laptop for. Mobility-wise, the 5150 has a more reasonable travel weight than the 9100, though battery life should be similar. Performance-wise, the 9100 is definitely the keeper.

Well, updating to all the latest drivers should be a good idea. A clean install and everything else you mentioned is purely optional, but having a password is also a good idea... (nosy roommates).

Agh, hot is an interpretation of the person whose lap the notebook is on. Got a 2.8 Prescott on mine and I'm fine with it, just gotta be mindful of the vents. I'm more concerned with the damn RAM temps. And honestly, I don't even see...

Hmm... from your pattern of speech, I assume you've never overclocked that much. So word of advice... inch it was we go. And stress test 'til it blows. As for an overclock utility, the Radlinker util. in the omega drivers should...

Dusan You're speaking out of hearsay. I personally spent 1289 on my refurbed i9100 and with my wit and tact, talked the lady into throwing in a 70 dollar i9100 backpack. As long as you have a problem, express your dissatisfaction...

Agreed. Look at this forum. People are spending their time and effort helping each other out with their comp probs. Do you see any payment system integrated in the forum? Me thinks not! Basically put, you, sir, are the weakest link.

Oh, shoot. It's an XPS?! Ahaha, my bad, Police. Yeah, you don't have a choice in the UXGA matter, do you? Well, good system, anyways. You should be happy.
