Sorry, this is not a Hot Deal. Your question would be more appropriate on our General Hardware forum.

This system is probably made with a regular Pentium processor............not the mobile processor - which means its gonna run hot as hell.

Personally I have no idea of the long term effects of a regular processor in a laptop, but from what I read........trouble ahead.
