    Hello,everyone.I'm new here.I'd like to consult some questions regarding X201's temperature. I hope all of you can clearly understand what I mean cause I'm from a non English native speaker country.

    I plany to but a X201 i5 520M is enough.However,I heard that some people complain about the temperature emited by its CPU.

    If use like searching IE,watch HD movies,play WAR3 some basic games,what's the average temperature it has?Please sb who have experience tell me detial information on this problem.Thank you!

    Yours sincerely

    I have an X201 (specs are in my signature) and I have experienced absolutely no issues with temperature... It's an awesome machine, and I wouldn't be concerned at all about temperature!

    And just to give you an idea of my usage, I often have it docked with 2 monitors hooked up while I use it all day at home. I sometimes even do a little bit of gaming (I've played Dragon Age: Origins). When I take it outside with me, I usually do light tasks like word processing, e-mail, youtube, etc.

    WAR3 means warcraft 3 right?

    Your X201 should handle it no problem, the X200 was already capable of handling all these stuffs that you mentioned.
