Going with Intel here only because I do both processor-heavy applications and gaming. Since I think the bottleneck for gaming is the graphics card more and the bottleneck for most processor-heavy applications is the processor itself...

Seiran, How about you post the specs of each system you are looking at as well as what you will be using your lappie for. That way we can give you some insight into what might be better on each and what might not be worth it on each....

CJRPilot, I actually do hardly any typing. I was merely suggesting something that others who do, such as FT, could possibly use and take heat away from their wrist while still being very portable and not damage your expensive laptop....

Good points Pyrobob. As I stated I had never used Artic Silver. I guess my assumptions about it are very wrong. I thought it hardened upon application...somewhat like an epoxy would. I don't think it'd be that annoying to have...

Laz, I think that might help reduce heat a bit but I think it is more the air in that area of the laptop is hot, not just the filler card itself that gets hot and then conducts the heat to the wristpad. But a very good point. Maybe...

FT, I was suggesting to mod the PCMCIA filler card only so that it'd be very easy to take with you. You would open up the laptop and power it up. Then (if needed) take out your modded filler card and put it on top of the laptop's...

G, Do you think there will be any kind of issue when closing the laptop if you were to do that? That is my worry. I was thinking to use that fill card so you can take it off and put it back one and not have to worry about carrying...

I do feel heat from the left wristpad of the 8790 but it doesn't bother me at all. So then you may ask why am I starting this thread? Well...I have an idea to solve the issue for others who are more sensitive to the heat coming from...

I believe what gave that kid a rash was the exhaust fans blowing heat out the left side of the notebook. The exhaust fans on the 8790 are in the rear so that wouldn't be a problem with it. What are you doing that makes the 8790 hot for...

Very nice Jojo. Try to get in the HABIT of doing that on your instant messaging programs too. I know that for a while in my freshman year of college I'd always find "net speak" in my english papers whenever I reviewed...
