    Finally my NP9262 arrived on monday, I got to say it's really amazing, runs AC on an orgasmic way, since this will be the last lap top I might get in a log time (at least 4 years) I'm taking extra care of it, I'm trying to figure out ways of protecting it from the dust, what I do is that I keep it in its bag when I'm not using it so the dust cant get to it, but I'm not shure if there's an issue with keeping it like that, of course i burst some compressed air once in a while to remove the dust that gets in the computer when its not in the bag, any other advices on how to keep it alive longer would be very apreciated :p

    You keep the laptop in the bag while it is on???

    Not sure about the cooling on the NP9692, but you shouldn't bag a laptop that is on, it might congest airflow which can cause it to overheat and damage it.

    Dust is natural and it can't be avoided.
    Best way to get rid of it is to lean out your vents using compressed air [as you said] every 2-3 months.
    You can even do it monthly if you want to keep it as dust free as possible.
    Just make sure to do it right, and not let any liquid accidentally get into your vents

    Hope this helps

    LOL
    Sorry, my bad ;)

    I guess that's the best you can do.
    Keep it away from nature when its off and clean the vents regularly.

    If you are careful with it, there is no reason it shouldn't last you more than 4 years easily

    GAME ON!!!!!!!!

    Gophn has a notebook cleaning How-To (in one of the stickies, I think) - follow his recommendations religiously and you should never have problems from dust/dirt buildup.
