Beats... overpowered bass and lots of it to compensate for its lack of competence in the other departments.

I only specialize in hardware, gaming, and some audio.

Still aiming for the 1215B. The U41SV is a last resort. I personally don't trust HP that much. I remember going to my ex's place every other week to fix her HP notebook. I don't mind settling for a slightly lower performing model because mainly:

1. I can prolly OC the GT540M to GT550M levels.
2. I want a longer battery life.
3. Super Hybrid Engine's OC is amazingly powerful!

Well I'm not sure for SB but the old Arrandale i7 idle temps were quite high. Ranging from 45-60C.

If 1215B then I just leave it lo. SHE will OC a bit gua.

SHE also has a high performance mode. On it, depending on the model, you can get up to a 15% increase in bus speed.

Low 40s, possible with the i5 SB. But since the i7 has 4 physical cores, more heat is produced.

And my reasoning is like this:

If I get 1215B, then I keep the A42JV.

Else, get rid of A42JV and get U41SV only.

Not available on all models. SHE only available on U, UL and Eee series.
