If you prefer a stylish yet very very very good laptop, go for the HP Envy 15...

Well, won't the CPU fry itself, it it doesn't have any sort of cooling aid apart from the copper heatsink ? On my Toshiba, it runs all the time, regardless of the temp, and still gets quite hot. I was planning on replacing the thermal compound, to mend this issue.

Do you need a 17 inch ? I mean, is this laptop for general use+gaming or gaming+general use :))

Well, do you travel a lot ? Or are you on campus ? If so , then get a laptop. But not one of those 2. They are overkill for what you'll be doing. Do you have a budget ? Some preferences ( nvidia/ati, mac/windows, asus/dell/apple/hp)? If the answer to your first two questions is no, then get a...

It turns for 3-4 seconds, but that's about it. And it died all of a sudden, after I cleaned it with an air can. This sort of stuff isn't normal. Can you come up with sth else that might have happened ?

Well, good luck with the m11x then :) Hope you tell us your impressions. I would still have gone with the envy :P As for the m13x, I don't think that will happen. Because there's not much of a price difference between the m11x and the m15x (between the core models, that is), and if they pull...

The fan isn't unsnapped from the shaft. It does move when I use the air can, and moves for a while when I turn it on, but after 3-4 sec. is stops. I can't see where it plugs into the mobo though, I have to take it apart to see that.

Take a look at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220770 14 inch, 1gb ddr3 video from nvidia, core i5 and 500gb of hdd. Here's a review: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=5786&p=2 And it has nVidia's Optimus. 4 hours of battery life is pretty...

I personally don't think that core2duo low voltage will last you 2-3 years. My 1-year old core2duo laptop with dedicated gpu has trouble doing some things. If you live 1 hour away from campus, do you think that you'll NEED a portable gaming machine for the hours you're in campus? And what sort...

You didn't say you weren't a mac fan. 8.5 Hours is BS, even a netbook doesn't last that long. Only the core i5/i7 models have an integrated intel media acc., which they use when you're not doing too much stuff. Let me ask you some other questions: do you have your desktop nearby( as in your...

I would get the HP Envy 14 if I were your. It's got all the new specs and it's far more elegant. Mind you, the M11x is not compact.. it's small, but it's thick. The Envy 14 is 999.99$, and it's got an i3, 320GB HDD, 4 GB Ram and ATI 5650 on it and an 8 Cell Battery. It's a bit larger than an...

Hi guys, sorry for bothering you. Yesterday I decided to clean my laptop a bit, and used a compressed air cleaner to blow the dust away from my it. I cleaned the usual parts: keyboard, heatsink grills, RAM and all the notches and holes. When I started it after the cleaning process, the CPU fan...
