No one would know?
Abit too specific
Why not just try reading professional reviews?

lol, come to think of it, I haven't did any temperature tests for the U2 on my m14x
Will do one when I get another U2, the fans on my old one are not that efficient anymore, so the results would be biased

Use what? The EverCool thingy?
It won't work on the M14x since the heat sinks are at the back, and there's no USB ports there lol

I see
But then the back portion of the M14x is err.... what you call... tilted? I still doubt it'll fit haha~
Anyway, the fan of the M14x is already working very hard to cool the temps down (and sounds like a mini hair dryer)

^ Thanks for the suggestion sifu...
I've searched around but I don't really understand how it works, I mean how it manage to attach even to tilted surfaces
Mind sharing what you know hehe~

Not 8.9 to 20"?

Neh, just showing that the M14x's front and back portion are tilted. Meaning it won't be easy to fit those Evercool coolers on the vents (at the back)...
Now still wondering how the Evercool FIT fits into this haha

My sis may want to buy Inspiron 14R one ar... what's the bug?

Do refer to previous page

You forgot U1 and U2 bro haha

Very true
... which is why its so hard to recommend/ buy a good cooler nowadays since a good one for my laptop doesn't mean it'll be good for someone else's

Yea, the extra protusion means that there's no need to tilt your laptop up anymore when you're on battery...
As for cooling, you'd probably need a cooler pad when you're running intensive stuffs anyway, in which you'd probably be connecting the A/C (and the battery removed), so its still better to use a cooler

Yeah, it'll be difficult... if the user is using U2 or U3, it'll definitely slide haha
But its not a big problem actually since most users won't be running insanely resource consuming stuffs on battery; and they won't be attaching the battery when running resource intensive stuffs

Haha, most users don't bring along their cooler pads one what
And so far most of the mobile hotspots I've been to have air-con, hence eliminating the need of a cooler

Its good to remove the battery as heat from the laptop will kill it

Practise bringing coolers out? Or practise removing batteries when on A/C?
My old Toshiba Satellite M100's battery only lasted for 30 minutes after 2 years because I din't know it must be removed, especially during gaming
Learnt my lesson already haha, but then the battery in my M14x is integrated one

Tablets sure come in handy... no wonder they're selling like hot cakes now

I ought to share this with you guys. Credits to lee_what sifu for introducing the site and program, and credits to BatteryCare for the chart below

In summary:
- The battery will wear faster if you expose it to high temps (according to the chart: constant exposure to a temperature of 60C (at 100% battery) will degrade the battery down to 0 in 1 year time)

- The battery will wear faster if you leave it at 100% charge

Read the link
Research were done, so I guess its reliable...
Something is better than nothing la haha~
too bad I can't remove my battery

Yeah, those will have problems as well...
but since they're mostly not use for resource intensive programs like games etc., the effects won't be that apparent
Additionally, most who can afford MBP or 15z will most probably in air-conditioned rooms all day anyway

Added on June 9, 2011, 2:12 pmDepends on the type of cooler you're referring too..
Most cooler pad fans blow air....
Those Evercool ones suck air

Added on June 9, 2011, 2:13 pmIts partially integrated
Alienware probably decided that by making the battery removable, the solidity of the laptop would be affected or something

lol, not too bad la I suppose...
M15x,17 and 18x batteries should be detachable
