but the laptop also heavy enough ma... my previous presario v3751au 14" also heavy enough lor and the adapter quite tight

another issue is sometimes a powerful traction can cause damage to the adapter. I've experienced it once on my old Inspiron, accidentally kicked the wire very hard, but nothing happened, can't see any damage from the outside. However the next time I started my computer, the BIOS told me there is power issue, I just ignored it. The next day, my MOBO burned halfway using, that time warranty just expired for a month O_O
Initially didn't think that the issue is with the adapter, so changed the motherboard, which cost me a bomb. After a few days of usage, smoke came out from my Inspiron - the motherboard burned again... Luckily this time the motherboard was under the 3 months warranty, but had to buy a new adapter...

hi, planning to buy Studio XPS 16 and i read some review and found that some ppl comment this lappy has good performance but very hot, i wonder how hot is tat..anybody can tell me? i hope the place i put my hand (beside the touch pad) while playing pc game is not too hot or else hard to play le..sry for stupid grammer XD

It's common for mig-end or high-end laptop systems ...

Most of the time the palmrest gets hot is due to the harddisk temperature..

oh, got it..thx for fast reply maybe stick to aircon while playing this lappy hehe

i just bought invisible skinz for my coming soon xps 16, usd 43

get urself a cheap plastic cooler with the big fan or the 3 fan one..

or Invest in Cooler Master Notepal Infinite or Notepal X2

Maybe Notepad infinite, i don't like X2 design.

Last week went to Lowyat, but i was too lazy to buy the cooler cause need to carry the box around.

most of the heat come from southbridge for sxps16

which 1 better notepal or zalman ?

i just place my order sxps16 hehe... now looking cooler that suit
any recommend ?

Zalman is much more better but more expensive, i already compared both cooler side my side and i could feel the zalman cooler is much more heavy, solid and cooler than notepal.

Just some personal opinions

zalman which model ?

NC-2000

that 1 almost double the price of coolermaster infinite -.-"

nearly rm200... notepal much cheaper only rm100+
which 1 more quiet in top speed

that' why i said it is expensive, but rm200 only, still ok lar

poor man like me rm200 not ok lor
