    My main concern is the known heating issues in the XPS 16, does the studio 17 run much cooler?


    I plan to incorporate in both

    i7 820 (maybe 720 if it makes a heat difference?) processor
    6 GB DDR3 1333 RAM

    So obviously the XPS is packin' the better video card with the ATI 5730, does this card also produce less heat?

    Just wanting the fastest, yet coolest laptop, I don't plan to game much on it, but want the beastly specs.

    Or should I gun for Alienware, though the similar build is about $500 more.
