I have the exact same issue with my 5670. I have looked through the forums and it seems to be solved by messing with standby power options. However, even though there seems to be semi-fixes I was curious to know what the problem is....

Just had to toss my two cents in. I am a masters student in CG and use both maya and max to teach a digital lighting and rendering course. I have to say that I positively couldn't live without my 5670. Using slow machines while trying...

In my opinion that laptops do an amazing job in max. Although the ATI card isn't the best at OpenGL (works well with Direct3d) But it has so far done everything I have needed it to. I work in 3ds Max on a daily basis. I am sure there is...

I use Max and Maya, as well as Combustion on the 5670. Its what I bought it for. What kind of benchmarks would you guys want?

This is really hard to explain. Its like taking a car into a shop and saying that you hear a noise. Anyway, anytime I do anything that involves higher level graphics, like loading images or manipulating objects in 3d Max or Maya, I...

Thanks for the responses... I do get the heavy blow dryer effect from the fans. So I think it is just the natural heat the laptop gives off. I am wondering if there is a thin layer of something you could put underneath the keyboard...

I recently purchased a 5670 and am having some heat issues as well. Is it common for your wrists and hands to become sweaty after only 10-15 minutes of gaming and or medium computer use? My keyboard is becoming warm enough as to cause...
