    I was planning to buy a clevo N150RF with i5 6440HQ and GTX 965m for £800, but I found this online today: http://www.europc.co.uk/dell-alienware-15-116922.html

    Can owners of this machine tell me how the temperatures are? Also does dell's warranty include service & parts or only service?

    Temps for myself are pretty good.

    GPU won't breach 67 Degrees under load whilst CPU hovers around 80's (Which is hot but the fans keep the system keyboard cool).

    The only notable drawback I can conclude is this laptop during gaming loads is NOT to be used on your lap without a hard surface platform such as a tray for the fans to draw air.

    Dell's warranty includes both service and part replacement - It is one of the best in the business.

    Thanks Caladdon, those temperatures seem pretty good, ordered the system today.

    My previous laptop which was a dell studio 17" lasted me 5 years before the GPU died, so hopefully this one lasts just as long.
