    Let's see... oh geeze, it's a Prescott-core P4. Those things are blast furnaces, well over 100W maximum power burn. It's insane to put those things in notebooks.

    The zv5000t has no reason to exist. Return it and get a zv5000z with Athlon 64 3700+. The Athlon 64 has better performance, 81W max power, vastly better power management, and Enhanced Virus Protection. The GPU, while weak, is better than the shared video memory solution the zv5000t uses.
