    Just wondering if anyone who has had the XPS 16 for more than 9 months has had any problems with it. I'm aware of the throttling and heat issues, but has anyone had the heat cause long-term issues? Eg. damage to components, etc. If you've had the notebook for more than 9 months and you either have had a problem or not had a problem at all please post! Thanks in advance :)

    Had it for over a year and still fine. I had a 1640 and 1645. I use it a lot too, what with gaming or other stressful stuff.
