dell with centrino
i think its the Dell Latidue D
Yes X31
what about the heat it gives off its componants?
had an old ARMADA E500 used 24/7, used to download things, i didnt care much about the heating, phhh, it kept my legs warm when it wasnt on the desk
Under Development...
I leave mine on alot, almost 24/7. But i have to admit when i first got it a year ago it was silent, now the fan is making slight noises and the new hard drive has this seek noise that is a little annoying as the old HD had no noise at all.
I think the fan problem is due to my house being quite dusty, i will open it up soon to see if i can clean it up
My sony VGN-B1VP has been on 24/7 and has been excellent, the guys in the office with D600 Lattitude dells have to turn thiers off at night as the chassis gets seriously hot, Del puts it down to the 7,200RPM HDD, personally I think its a design fault, but thats just me, as my Sony chassis stays nice and cool.

Acer TravelMate 804 stays on 24/7. HDD gets a bit warm when it's in intensive use, but it soon cools back down.
How is that laptop? Nice design, i may consider getting a used one next summer before uni or something. I need a very quiet laptopOriginally Posted by visidigi
My colleague lent over to me while i was reading your response and told me about an article he was reading in the newspaper he had, apparently having a laptop on your lap regularly can cause infertility because you're raising the temperature of your genital areas as much as 5 degrees.Originally Posted by mr_anderson187
Don't know how much truth there is in it, but if you haven't had kids already and want to maybe nows a good time to try.
Toshiba Satellite pro A10, was on all the time, but had hard drive failure yesterday, didnt get too hot at all
Compaq Evo N600c ran 24/7 no problems at all for quite a long time.
Dell D600 had running 24/7 for a month now, gets a bit warm now and then, but no probs yet ..... full load 24/7, crunching SETI

No bad effects, although I do regular battery discharges once every couple of months to keep it in tip top shape
