    In the test of the Lenovo X301, Andrew presents temperature of the body, he speaks about heat : it's between 80 and 90. But I want to know what is his scale : Celsius or Fahrenheit ? I leave in Paris and I use only Celsius.
    Can somebody answer me ?

    If it's Fahrenheit, what the conversion rule ?

    As I use my Lenovo and Ibm old computers during whole day (and each day !) from 8 am to 9 pm, it's very important for me to know if this X301 has a really good heat dispersion...

    Thank you.

    The body temperature readings are in fahrenheit if they are between 80-90. If that was Celsius you would be burning your hands. If he gave any CPU, HDD, or GPU temperatures then those were most likely in Celsius, per normal.

    If you need to convert just google.

    You can also just type ___F in C /or/ ___C in F

    The ___ would be the temp. And google will pop up w/the answer. ;)

    If water boils at 100C, isn't 90C a little to hot to touch with your hands?

    You don't touch your CPU, GPU or hard drives (usually...) with your bare hands.

    But the OP mentioned the Body temps, not those of the CPU/GPU.
