    Hello!

    Is it safe to buy this W860CU:
    Välkommen till GGS-Data - GGS-Data Style-Note, W860CU-5870-SSD+ !

    1.73 GHz (3 GHz) Core™ i7-820QM, 4096MB, 320GB Seagate, Momentus XT SSD-Hybrid, 15.6" Full HD LED Panel (1920x1080), DVD±RW, Gigabit LAN, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/Draft N, Bluetooth, 2.0M camera, ATI Mobility Radeon HD5870 1GB GDDR5. Weight; 3.3kg

    Or does it have heating problems with the 5870, should i choose 285m GTX instead? I dont want too open it up and put extra thermal paste etc. I just want too run it as it is. I have 2 years warranty.

    Thanks in advance
