    I have an oppertuinity to get a dell 13z, which is great as a friend has it and i find it one of the best truly portable laptops going. Unfortunately dell dont sell it anymore so the only one i can get my hands on is one wiht the nVidia GeForce G 105M. ive read quite a few issues with the nVidia GeForce G 105M card (see here ).

    I really like the laptop, as my friend has it with the intel GPU.

    Anyone advise, is it a bad idea to get this( or any other nvidia with the powermizer feature), or can i remedy this with good drivers?
