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

I have a HP laptop using for more than 5 years! hahahahaha.. hp compaq nx6325.. the condition still look superb just it's already outdated!! just that the battery kong for 2 years already! so using power supply ever since.. lol

I was thinking to get HP DV4 based on the specs and price (as my budget is around RM2800) but I also heard good reviews on Asus N43SL and A43SV. Any reviews and opinions? I'm a student so the most I would do with this computer is just playing games, movies, and microsoft office since I'm not an IT student.

i was the same with you, 5 years and no battery haha...anyway my summary for my a43sv:

pros:
very study, i would say as sturdy as current N series biggrin.gif
i7 woot! (i5 would be enough for you though)
nice chicklet keyboard
big and smooth mousepad
in aircon room, palmrest is really ice cool

cons:
huge power brick
weird placement of power supply port( to the right of vent)
no optimus
sucky speakers
slightly heavier than average 14", due to build quality
no usb 3.0

overall very satisfied, i can live with most of the cons, just annoyed no optimus smile.gif
