    I am curious as to which brand provides sufficient cooling and superior build quality? I am not necessarily concerned with getting the latest and greatest hardware (though it would be nice of course) but I am concerned with the overall build quality and adequate cooling so that my laptop will last a few years with no problems whatsoever.

    I am especially interested in the upcoming M860TU as well.

    Thoughts?

    well the d901c has wicked cooling.

    and wicked build quality as well.

    I overclocked my quad core to 3ghz/1333mhz fsb and I peak at below 60 degrees with max fan.

    my gpu is oc'd to 600-1500-950 and it idles at 37 and peaks in mid 60's.

    Damn that's pretty crazy, but I was actually more curious about Sager's 15.4" models. Do you have any experience with those?

    One thing is for sure.

    Clevo gaming notebooks stand-out from others with the amazing Fan Toggle feature.

    I have no doubt that upcoming M860TU will have a great thermal design.

    I hope so, I might finally buy a notebook after running on a Dell Inspiron 600m the last few years! lol
