    can someone fill me in on what kind of GPU cooling both of these laptops use?

    is it a single fan that covers both the cpu and gpu with a heatsink or what?

    i tried to tell from pictures but its pretty hard

    thanks

    M1530 has a single cooler that cools both the CPU and GPU. I've noticed that the avg GPU temps tend to be cooler than the G1S for what it's worth.
