    Why I want to order this? Don't need the 5650... the 5470 will be enough for my needs...
    Canada has POWDER WHITE color option... which is matte white!
    I need i7-620m processor.

    The questions... will this laptop overheat?
    And I know the screen is not FULLHD but Canada/US is not offering this option anymore... will the 1366x768 be okay? Anyone have a non FHD screen? The demand is too high for these screens... :(
    Will this laptop last? Excluding drops and accidents of course.

    The resolution is a bit too low for me, and for 15" in general. I'm thinking I need at least 1600x9000.
