    Ok so i just bought the M15x for my wife. It has the 720 CPU and the 260GTX GPU. Does anyone have a similar set up that could give me a HWMoniter reading on the unit in idle and maybe with a 3dmark test so i can get a reasonable high and low for the unit.

    I really hope this unit cools well because sometimes she has a tendency to play on her lap and i have a fear of her blocking the vents and setting the unit on fire.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Here's a test I did with it on my lap. Computer has the same CPU and GPU. During the test I was averaging around 64 temp wise.

    I believe what I scored is the norm so far for the M15x. Someone else scored a 6800 on the GPU, but it seemed a little out of place.
