    Well my old m1330 would have about 43-44 degree C with normal browsing, but my replacement m1330 is 54-57 degree C with normal browsing. Everything is the same in terms of specs. The only difference I know is the brand -screen name, which I doubt makes that much of a difference. What is the reason behind this, is it because the way the laptop was assemble which makes it warmer/cooler?

    System may be the same, but there may be different programs that you are not aware of running in back ground.

    The temp you have really isn't bad at all though. I wouldn't worry about it.

    The temps are fine. A variety of things can affect the temperature of your laptop, but as long as it's in an acceptable range, who cares?
