    Hey there,

    I'm highly inclined to buy this notebook because of it's performance but mobility is a must for me have for me.

    So, what do you say? Sager becomes hot in a wood table while playing?
    Do you use those table coolers?

    Is it possible to enjoy the notebook without fear of overheating?
    I mean play it over any surface?

    What do you think about the portability? Do you move your notebook a lot?

    The difference from 560m to 580m makes the notebook heat grow insane?
    Do you consider it a fragile notebook?

    How about the battery?

    And final, someone that moves this notebook a lot gives me some opinion, please.

    i just purchased the malibal lotus.

    Portability - Including the power adapter this is a pretty heavy laptop comparing to other brands of similar size. But if u are using a backpack, u wont really feel the difference

    Heat - so far I have not encountered any heating issues with this laptop, althought while playing games the fan will spin louder.

    Battery - For my daily work, this can last about 2.5hrs. this is with lowered screen brightness n wifi

    It doesn't need an external cooling system, the internal heat sink and fans are amazing. I haven't seen it go over 120 fahrenheit (about 45 C) ever.
    Like, at all.

    It's pretty heavy but not a huge issue, especially if you have a carrying case of some sort.

    It's very well built and sturdy. I haven't heard of anyone ever having issues with scratching or fragility.

    The battery isn't great for a 15" notebook- probably about 2 hours or so.
