    Hi, I have read about a lot of people using the W520 with a quad core i7 2720QM or 2820QM processor having issues such as CPU throttling, being stuck at 800 MHz, random shutdowns, etc. Does anyone know if these issues are present in the W520 with the dual core i7 2620M processor? If any of you have a W520 with a i7 2620M, could you comment on the stability/reliability of the system? Thanks.

    other people have commented that it is also happening with the i7 dual core, yes
