S7110 or E8210 Lifebook

I'm thinking of buying either the S7110 or E8210. Any thoughts?

I like the S7110 because of the size. I teach overseas and really liked the lighter weight (since I currently have a Sony Vaio). But since I give presentations, I thought that the widescreen would be nice to have. Thus, I was thinking of the E8210, but I read that it gets really hot. Hmmm, does anyone know if the S7110 also gets hot?

I'd appreciate your feedback.

 

Both machines have higher screen resolution configuration: SXGA. The difference is physical size and weight. I like S7110 more. It is much more portable.

 

Thanks for the thought. Which model do you have?

I just read that the Siemens version which looks like it has very similar specs to the USA model can reach up to 41 C -- this is about 106 F. Ouch!

If you're thinking about the E8210, you might want to consider the newer Santa Rosa based E8410.

41C is very, very normal. most notebooks on high load are usually at 60-70C, so i am assuming 41C is low load temps. my notebook has low load temps of 47C, and it doesn't feel hot at all.
