    Actually even though Nvidia has been reporting problems I haven't even heard of anyone with problem cards. :confused: So really I wouldn't be too worried about going with an Nvidia card. :D

    I would still get it. Just make sure you check out the cooling guide and always take good care of your laptop. As long as you are careful I don't think you will have any problems.

    Yeah I would get a cooling pad for any laptop that has a dedicated GPU. It just helps keep things a little cooler.

    Oh and if you want a little more peace of mind get a better warranty. That way if anything goes wrong you can get your laptop fixed. :)

    IMO if a laptop can't cool itself well from a manufacturer then it isn't worth buying...
