    Hey there.. :)

    Since my zepto is about to die, Im on the lookout for a new laptop.

    I had my last lessons of 3D Autocad (inventor) last semester, and the rest of my study time, I will be using word, excel, and axacpta (etc)..

    I will be using my laptop for a few (4-8) hours per day, and I am a casual gamer (old wow player, but dungeon keeper II, Evil genius etc..).. Will it (X201 tablet) be able to run these games ?

    How does it handle heat within the computer? - My zepto got Freaking hot, really fast, so I dont want the same thing againg..

    About the noise... How much noise does it produce ? - Also when being stressed :)?

    Hope you can help me, and sorry for any spelling errors.. Im danish ;)

    All great questions, you may get some answers from folks here but I'll direct you to the Lenovo forum on our Tablet PC focused site where you can already find a lot of details from user feedback on the X201t and posting this same question there may yield you more answers:

    It'll run, but it won't be great without discrete graphics. When you are not gaming, the X201t is a quiet, cool laptop, but obviously, when you're stressing it while gaming, the fan will be louder. From my experience with the T500, though, I should think it won't be extremely loud.

    you wont have problems with the x200t at all. But a few users on this forum have mentioned the x201t cpu fan idling at 3000rpm when on windows 7 brand new out of the box, which is a bit loud. The bios fan speed definitely changed because the old one was whisper quiet.

    (hopefully those users are wrong on this. but bios version matters because it occurred after they updated)
