    Hey all,

    Been a while since I've passed through the Acer section on NBR :)

    Just wondering, what's the consensus on 4820TG vs. 3820TG in terms of temperatures and cooling? Is the 13in model cooler cuz of dual fans? Does the 14in model even have 2 fans?

    And for kicks, if anyone has the info on hand, how's the 5820TG compare with regards to temps and cooling?

    3820TG = duals fans
    4820TG and 5820TG = single fan

    From what I've read, both 4820TG and 5820TG have adequate cooling (as expected), and 3820TG has very exceptional cooling (because of the unusual 2-fan system).
