Added on May 3, 2010, 6:48 pmI heard from one of the store owners, they say that the A52jr with i5 overheats really fast, is that true?

And is the K series (e.g. a52jk) the newer model of the a52jr? even though its lower specs
*
where u heard this rumours?? i dont have overheat problem with my a52jr.. icon_rolleyes.gif i will post temperature screenshot from my a52jr

Mine's the same. But mine is the JR version. And it sounds crappy too. Like too much treble and no bass. Watching movies with the speakers is a pain. I wonder does the JK have the same lousy speakers as the JR?
