    Alright I'm about to buy my next laptop, but I always get bit in the from some common problem that is not evident from light researching. From the dv4z having a retarded exhaust fan that essentially points downwards to a used G50vt that has a stupid overheating GPU heatsink assembly.

    So right now I'm looking at the Y4- or 560 and wondering if there are any common issues that people face, and how common they are.

    Thanks in advance!

    The bottom of the y460 likes to get hot as does the vent blowing out the hot air away from the laptop when gaming or stressing the system. The components stay within safe range though. The y560 has a dancing pixel problem with the screen. From the comments about it, not everyone has it or notices it.
