[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 37104, member: 3850"] i agree, then left palm rest does get a little warm, but not much warmer than your average notebook, plus you don't really notice it unless typing for extended lenghs of time and even then it's not disturbingly warm...(kind of like a built in hand warmer... oh i suppose you wouldn't have much use for that down under??;)) But the benefit is a fan that seems to be off 98% of the time so the computer is virtually silent. The drive is quite noisy though, but seems alright playing dvd's and the like (seems to be noisy spinning up and then quiets down..) for university it's great, battery life was a main concern of mine (even though there are ac sockets everywhere here, but nothing beats doing your homework in the english garden in munich on a hot day :)) I say go for it!
