I would go with HP Probook because a lot of metal used in construction. Lenovo Thinkpad Edge is all plastic.

Hi, My laptop was heating up a bit too much (temperature above 90’s in normal load, and sometimes shutting down after hitting 100C), so I finally decided to open up my Dell XPS 15 (L502X) and replace the thermal paste. I have few questions: When I opened it up, apart from the thermal paste on...

Thanks. I installed CoreTemp and HWMonitor. They are reporting same temperatures as Speccy. What to look for/fix now?

I also updated all softwares/firmwares/BIOS, etc.

Thanks. The task manager say only about 25% oc CPU is being used, and only 1.6 GB of RAM is being used. No unusual load of any application in task manager. I used Speccy to check the temperatures of hardware. What does this indicate now?

Hi, I have a Dell XPS15 (L502X). I think it is heating a bit too much under normal load (only few browsers open). The windows 7 is newly installed. It has i7-2630QM, 8GB RAM, 2GB GT-540m graphic card and 750 GB 7200 RPM HDD. The CPU temperature is around 95 C, Motherboard 95 C, graphics 35 C...

Hi, I have HP Probook 4330s (i3 2310m, 8gb RAM 1333MHz, 1TB Samsung EVO SSD). I have upgraded the BIOS (F.60, 03/13/2015 version). I want to upgrade the CPU on my computer. This laptop was also delivered with i7 2620M and i5 2540M, so it should be possible to upgrade to any of these CPU’s. On...

If E5430 has the same poor design for managing heat as E5420, than I would get rid of E5430. I have a E5420 with i3 ivy bridge +HD3000, and heats up a lot.

Correction. I have a Dell Latitude E5420 lying around. Didn't knew that its Dell's business line laptop. Its with i3-2350m processor and HD 3000. That laptop gets pretty warm in the bottom, so not comfortable to hold on lap. The working temperature under normal load of CPU on my E5420 is ca 65...

Hi, I need some suggestion about choosing one of these laptops: I am thinking of buying (used) either HP probook 6460b (AMD A8-4500m 1.9Ghz) or HP probook 645 G1 (AMD A8-4500m 1.9Ghz). Both have the same processor, but the newer model (645 G1) is thinner. Any experience of which one stays...

Thanks....I have never used Lenovo Thinkpad or Dell before. Any specific models? or prefix? For my use, I need atleast 2.0ghz (i3, i5 etc, but not celeron, Intel Atom lineup or anything by AMD). I do not need a dedicated GPU either. Just decent processing power.

Among the many laptops that I have owned over the years, the only one that does not get overheating problems is HP Probook 4330s. Despite an i3 rocessor with intel hd3000 gpu, the laptop base stayes very cold. I never needed to put anything under it. I even many tried several tabs/chromebooks...
