Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery
That is good information. If yours doesn't have any hardware defects, that should be an important consideration for those wishing to run linux.
It sounds like you have some power management issues. Mine has never gotten all that hot, even running Kubuntu, 2000, and XP simultaneously inside Virtualbox. Generally the hottest core runs around 70 celcius at full load, with the MB/case temperature 30. Under moderate load its about 55 and 27 respectively. The fan adjusts very quickly to loads and rarely blows hot air (except when I have my mouse in front of the fan exhaust vent for a few minutes...see comments above); the keyboard and surrounding surface never even approach body temperature when its used indoors;only the bottom near the fan gets warm, but never hot. I've never tried using it without a pad, but my pad is flat, rubber, and unventilated so it should run cooler on hard and open surfaces and hotter on fabrics (I never set a running laptop on fabrics). When it is closed and nearly idle, just Trillian/Comodo active, the fan usually doesn't even run. It should be noted that I've assigned most applications to the integrated video, with only virtualbox and a few rarely used games and apps specified for the AMD GPU.
I agree, I have a 7 year old dell computer that still works well and another year old dell gaming computer. I have had no problems with dell products at all. It was a different story when my parents bough a cheap acer laptop, which was crappy build quality and had dead pixels.
I like this laptop because it's not another ultrabook wannabe. The only compromise in this laptop is the weight and battery such as Dell Studio 1450 battery, Dell Studio 1458 battery, Dell 312-4009 battery, Dell Vostro 1310 battery, Dell Vostro 1520 battery, Dell T116C battery, Dell Latitude Z600 battery, Dell 312-0929 battery, Dell Y596M battery, Dell Latitude E6400 battery, Dell Precision M6500 battery, Dell PT653 battery life, unlike other laptops that have no optical drive, lack of ports and no integrated graphics that are overpriced due to the fact they are really thin. I just wish it had a better battery.
