HI, my issues are Battery usage is extremely high, the laptop is warmer to the touch, and the fan is constantly running at a high speed, I have read various posts here and on other forums with regard to this although not all laptops suffer, it seems most of the newer ones do, my old inspiron 6400 worked perfectly with no problems no matter how i messed with it, This one though is not so stable, the heat is from the gpu as it seems to come from that area the fan is mainly used to cool the cpu so it isnt helping the gpu. These problems make me not want to use linux on my laptop as much as i used too, which is a shame realy.
It is good for surfing the web and frying my breakfast on at the same time though, Now that's what i call multi tasking.
