    P4's run hot and have weak battery life, but I wouldn't expect your notebook to outright overheat unless you block the fan intakes on the bottom of the machine.

    If you're feeling ambitious you should get a Hitachi 7200RPM 2.5" notebook HD to replace the 4200RPM drive you configured. See newegg.com, etc.

    Hello Brianstrech,

    Thank you very much for your opinion.
    I did thought of that but then again this pc
    was a give to me and I believe I brought the price
    quite High already. This price include printer and
    the 3 year cover.. so what I can do if be Happy with what
    I have and if something were to happend to this drive I can
    "may be" get me what you are saying 72rpm hard drive. I
    will come back and let you know how happy I am with the laptop.
    Once again, Thank you! Eve
