    Get the NOT GeForce 8400/8600 one, because it will fail regardless of air conditioning..

    I think the newer studio 15 is nicer.

    I wouldn't say outdated but I do think it's ending it's product life cycle (the only color option is pink). The studio 15 is newer and has more customization options.
