    Hi, I've been searching for a preinstalled linux laptop (in my region) forever and at last I've found a store( www.ggsdata.se) that sells clevo laptops with ubuntu.

    The thing is that they offer both with an Intel T8300(35W) http://ggsdata.se/laptops/mobinotem730t8300.html

    And with an Intel P9500(25W)
    http://ggsdata.se/laptops/mobinotem730tp9500.html

    My concern is that IF I buy the t8300 one, will it run very hot and such as the laptop(mainboard, heatsink...) is desígned for montavina(25W) processors?

    I'm also considering to mail the store and ask if they can offer it with a
    p8400, as they offer the M760T with it.(they assemble the laptops themselves.)

    PS. If you're curious, here are some pics

    PS2. Yes, both models have GM45 mainboard/motherboard

    If you check the specs you'll see that it has a LED backlit screen, apparently they have the model number wrong (but still...gotta email them and ask but they're on vacation until 27.7

    Skärm 13.3" typ: WXGA (1280x800) Kristallklar Flat Panel TFT-färgskärm (LED backlight)
    Yes, it's Swedish :p, but you should understand

    Also, I just realised that the T8300 should be OK, as it says on clevo's site that it supports eg. the T9500

    Since M730T uses the new platform, better to get a MV CPU to make full use of it. :D

    Yeah, I think I'm going to ask them about the P8400, because I don't NEED the extra power of the P9500
    Thank's for the help kaltmond :D
