not quite happy with this laptop in terms of quality...
dell qc people probably sleep at factory...

after receiving my i7-l502x on 26th may, the first thing that let me down was the mild electric shock at the palm rest..
since this is quite common with l502x and many people also experience this problem, i just ignore it..

next thing i do is testing the performance with games, videos and satisfied with it...
but when i check with hwmonitor, then only i know the cooling system got problem...
the temperature is -1c from max which is 99c for motherboard and processor...

turbo boost also cannot run because temp very high...

last week i sent back this lappy for repair and they replace the fan + put extra thermal compound...
now, the temp is 85c at full throttle, +-55c mild usage and the electric shock are gone....

overall, other than above problem, this is a great laptop,
for those who are interested in buying/already bought, i'd say go for it and check+test your lappy thoroughly..

i check using intel turbo boost monitor...
before repair never reach more than 2.0ghz...
now can maintain max turbo 2.6ghz for about 1 min then it gets hot and the speed goes down to 2.3ghz...

turbo max 2.9ghz when application use 1 core, 2.8ghz 2 core, 2.6ghz 4core..

how is your temperature?

sad news, my processor temp still rise to 99c while playing games....
probably it is normal for i7 to be this hot...
i read some where, alienware with i7 2630qm also temperature 99c while playing games...

looks like this lappy wont last long if used to play games all the time...

the best i tried is latest driver 275.50 beta...
i guess the newer the version the better it is...

based on my personal experience, at max rpm the fan sound is as loud as most other laptop. Which is quite normal to me.
But while surfing the web(light task), after a while the fan spin at an annoying rhythm. Thats the only thing thats bothering me in the middle of the night while surfing the web. During day time or at noisy place, its less noticeeable.
