AHHHHH still cant find a solution for my xps heat disipator...duno wanna get notepal p1 or the evercool magic.....both review from my frens say good....but i only have budget for one......maybe u guys who are xps users also can feedback??

im not using any notebook cooler so cant give u any suggestions there...but id think notepal is better,it cools the lap bottom,evercool just sucking out hot air (get both lolz)...duno bout other ppl but i on my lap for more than 6 hours everyday...at least 3 hours of that 6 playing half life 2 and my temp (cpu,gpu and memory) nvr got above 65 and thats in a fan room

Well, that ain't melted... It seems it's like that to show the fact that it's original (note the exposed metallic threads)... I also thought that mine was burnt or something, but when my brother's VGN-C25G/G (that's the Sony VAIO C to the rest of us) came with the same, hole-in-the-middle Vista label (laminated over summore), I got to thinking that maybe it's just made like that, for some unknown reason...

Freaky, ain't it?

Notepal P1? I have it, am using it... And between that and the Evercool magic (which is completely unusable with the XPS M1210, BTW... Different exhaust grille design), I'd say... Get a Zalman NC-1000... It might be more expensive, but MAN is it more effective...

The Notepal P1 isn't quite compatible with the M1210 (the two fans don't line up well to the M1210's exhaust ports... A little adjusting helps, but in the end your M1210's dangerously off-centre...

I'm still keeping it because of its size (compact), the fact that it works (somewhat, keeps my M1210 at 45-55C, most of the time, should be lower with the Zalman) and the fact that I just don't have the money for the NC1000...

Try shopping for other alternatives.... There's this one type of chapalang cooler made out of a thin aluminium slab with three USB powered fans, looks effective enough and costs around RM50...

porkchop,

im using Pacific Breeze, i dont know where u can get one but if u can tho ill say go grab one. I got to say im impress with the performance. Have 2 speed, low for silent,high for gaming. As u can see it's small and light, easy to bring along with you and it suits any size of laptop. It's cheap too.

i can afford the zalman no probs but then its kinda large ,want a portable wan......the pocketbreeze thanx i going to hunt around looks good

so the evercool magic thing sux la rite? ok keeping it in mind

Well then, get the NotePal P1 as it is really compact... But remember, smaller size = lower cooling capacity (most of the time anyway)... And the pacific breeze thingy is another option, though I haven't seen it sold anywhere in LowYat yet...

is a cooler neccessary?

What can I say, it helps... But it's not necessary... As long as you prop the back of your M1210 up to improve air circulation, everything ought to be okay... We're not talking about overheatable Acers here...

I'm using notepal cooler master....
Doesnt seem to help much...
I've tried with or without it.... din really notice any difference in temperature..... the temperature seem to be juz the same with or without it....

need a cooler ma cause hte notebook is not in a cool environment and always hot

well i dun need it i guess...even in fan room playing half life 2 gpu got to about 65-70 like that only...thats normal right?

Thats look normal to me.. i think i shud do bulk for Pacific Breeze haha since its cheap yet effective..

ur xps u usually use at where one?
i usually use in room with either fan or ac...ocassionally take it to starbucks or to frens place play game..too bad no counter 1.6...vista...grrr

my gf just got herself a compaq v3000 yesterday (1.8 santa rosa)...one thing for sure the speakers way better than the one on xps...but other than that it lost out on everything...except the 1.8 ghz 800mhz fsb processor...drool

me ah? in one dorner of the livign room got aircon + fan, but the notebook alwasy very hot, at the base and the left side...i suppose its 60-70C but i am quite uncomfortable with that temp, prefer around 30 - 40 .........

yikes...if ur playing game or something gpu or cpu heavy 60-70c is quite normal...even with cooler id imagine the temperature wouldnt drop much...maybe a few degrees?

EDIT: question...how do u all clean ur lcd?...mine like got tiny dots i think due to sneezing,but a already avert my face away from lcd when i sneeze so i guess those might be tiny airborne droplets lol...just use a dry/moist cloth to wipe or need something special?...i use the cloth use to clean glasses one lol...not very effective at cleaning the dots tho

AzeL got it right. It wont drop as much, but it helps especially for longevity of the laptop itself. If we expected to use our lappy more than 2 years at least, we shud take care of it from today especially the heat issues.

to answer ur question, i use Rosewill lcd cleaner with micro fiber cloth i bought somewhere in campus. The brand is 3M.

same thing on my xps also

d day i received my new xps is the day dell officially announce xps m1210 replace by xps m1330 =.="

anyway. i'm happy with my current m1210, and its still 14-day satisfactory period. so far din see any problem appear, beside uncomfortable with the touchpad. any advice that need specially take note?

no worry , look at here

btw, u should shrink your pic ler...
