    Out of your knowledge, which laptop has the best cooling system for cpu and cpu? Only internal heat numbers count and the laptop has to be 15 inches with one fan.

    Well it depends on the hardware as well. Some stuff requires a lot more cooling than other stuff, and fan profiles are important as well.

    As far as I know, no laptops like that with a single fan run cool :D... Especially in gaming...

    Yes, single fan cooling can be adequate. There is no denying however that dual cooling fans will allow for better cooling and/or less fan noise. Have you ever heard the MSIs that sported a mobility 5870, 720qm and a single fan, loud...

    @Geos, why limit yourself to one fan if a dual fan config allows for the screen size and overall dimensions you want.

    I would make the assumption that the G53SW is one of the best, I get near desktop temperatures in my G73SW.

    There is also various mods that can make it significantly better.
