Look like my laptop is out of fashion model since it's no longer on sale in UK shops. I was lucky i got the week before i don't like next model they replace it with. . i really like it the only thing i hate is that it's doesn't have USB ports on both sides the port are next to each other which mean you can't connect 2 devices next to each other  .

Did you look into getting the cooling pad? Most decent ones will have extra USB ports (you'll lose one on your laptop by connecting to the cooling pad) but you'll get a few more with a decent one.

yeah i did look into it and right now laptop on a desk and the vent isn't  block and air is flowing so i am not worried. Might get one in few weeks.

You also can get a usb hub, they have from 2 ports all the way to 64 I think

I checked them out still not much space between ports. it's not a big deal for me as i hardly USB port so far only 1 is in use which the mouse -i can't used to laptop pad area.

each their own,    I myself use a multitude of USB hubs, some four port has two on each side, so only plugging in on 1 side of each (using 2 ports) gives much space

thanks for the suggestion

Went to finding cooling pad but most were fan based USB so i ended going for Ergo-Tilt Laptop stand which was cheap and great way to keep laptop cool as it lift laptop let air flow.

I have a Dell xps 15 l502 version. I specifically ordered the 9 cell battery with it so it lifted the laptop up slightyly. I did not realise till I started using it that it has a side releasing vent for the fan which keeps it cool.
This laptop is way too powerfull for my everyday use it has the new Intel Sandy Bridge i7 processor which usually sits at about 2% when im using it

Yes i spotted mines few days ago as well . My one I-5 which is good for daily use. my is only 5-10%

I use to play World of Warcraft with this guy that had overheating issues with his laptop and couldn't afford a new one. He used a bag of frozen peas to keep it cool. Half way through a raid he would go afk for a replacement bag

That's amusing

We all thought so

i just spend today watch some of the comic-con 2011 TV panels

I watched the game of thrones one. I was disappointed they didn't ask Peter Dinklage more questions as he was my favorite character in the first season closely followed by Khal and Daenerys.

Some are good but some people ask stupid question like one person asked on Dexter panel is trinity killer coming back? He got killed in previous season SO NO

The True Blood panel is quite funny

bala

True blood panel is always amusing now i am watching Spartacus: Vengeance - San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Panel

I didn't realise this but my laptop screen come backlight and it was set on so i reduce my brightness on screen- doing some random search on goggle reveal backlight eventually wear out and need replacing-my question if i switch off my laptop backlight would increase life expectancy laptop screen? all i use instead normal brightness without backlight?

bala

I found this interesting
