    Does the size matter when it comes to heat dissipation?

    yes greater surface area to dissipate heat since there is more contact with the cooler air

    That's one more reason why I'm forced to buy NP5797 instead of NP8662! :(

    Are you saying larger monitor=/=larger laptop?

    edit: so the heat sink size is the same for both?

    What MR. Moo said is confusing.
    In short, akstylish, 5797 has better cooling system than 8662.

    he was saying a 17 inch is better then a 15 inch since it will run cooler which s no way true at all :D

    screen size does not matter when it comes to cooling

    True, but not entirely. A larger screen size implies a larger chassis and correspondingly, more room in said chassis, which would tend to improve the amount and flow of cooling air through the system. But true in the sense that there is no causal connection, just a correlation.

    Please re-read the entire thread, you are the only one talking about screen size here.
