    That's sad to hear... I didn't have time to buy a notebook sleeve and figured putting it in my backpack for one day wouldn't hurt. My other laptops didn't really have that issue. But then again, I never had a laptop with a magnesium alloy finish before.

    Oh well.

    Sleeves are one fix although most backpacks made for carrying laptops have a separate laptop compartment.

    My E6410 has the VGA and DP connectors but no connectors for more primitive video. I have a DP-DVI cable for business meetings. But this laptop is going on vacation with me and I wouldn't mind using it as a DVD player to feed any random TV I come across. And I figure my best bet is to plan for composite/s-video/component video (and not hope for DVI). Any suggestions for how to get composite/s-video/component video out of an E6410?

    You'll need a special converter box. They are usually very average in term of image output and are expensive (100$+)

    Yeah, obviously I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible so a converter box is out. I've found some inexpensive adapters that convert the DVI (from my display port adapter) to component video and other adapters that convert the VGA to component or composite/s-video. But they are based on the laptop outputting a compatible signal and I don't know if the E6410 does. FYI, my video card is the NVS3100M.

    I won't get my hopes up for these adapters. It's usually a specific GPU feature. I don't even think that Dell even knows, as they don't sell such accessories (and they make money on accessories, so they already try to sell all the accessories they can).

    Dell tech support just told me they would work but he didn't seem like he really knew - more like an assumption. So any actual firsthand experience would be appreciated!

    I think you'd be better off scrapping the idea of adapters and simply buying a very small, very cheap sub-$50 DVD player. By all means, bring a VGA cable, even bring a displayport to hdmi dongle. However, it seems as if a converter to component and/or RCA is pointless.

    Same here. Core 0 running at quite a bit hotter than Core 1. Core 0 showing ~48-51°C, Core 1 ~37-38°C. I don't know why. Most of the time all I have running is Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office.

    ETA: My laptop always sits on a cooling pad.
