    I recently purchased a Dell studio xps 16 (1645 to be exact) and I love it. But for gaming, outside of WoW and possibly Oblivion, the system has throttling issues. I can play Battlefield Bad Company 2 for roughly 10 minutes before the system gives in and the game goes from 40+ fps to no where near playable.

    I know the envy 14 doesnt release until sunday, but is there anyway of knowing if the 14 will have this issue as well?
