    I have the core i5 xps12. I recently replaced the 128gb drive with a 250gb drive. I was wondering if there is a good app to show you the battery percent. I have been using battery bar pro but I have noticed that it doesn't always show the correct charge. Is there a different app that works well for this? I am also looking for a good android emulator. Any suggestions? I was thinking of trying Andy. One last app question. Is there an app that people are using to monitor the temperature of the cpu? I installed coretemp but it causes the machine to freeze up.

    I find BatteryMon to generally be a better program than BatteryBar... if you're having issues reading the data changing apps may or may not help. HWMonitor is my preferred temp monitor; never had an issue with it crashing anything either.
