Hey,

I'm in the market for a new laptop, and one of my main requirements is
that the touchpad and keyboard remain cool to the touch.

I work on my laptop, and my current one just gets too hot during the
day.

Unfortunately searching for "Cool laptop" results in lots of trendy
gizmos and little discussion of which models are powerful enough for
work but also comfortable to work on 10-12 hours day.

I'd prefer to get a 17" widescreen with 2GB RAM. I imagine any of the
dual-core machines will be faster than my current Pentium M, but can any
machine that robust keep its temperature down?

Are there certain brands that pay greater attention to these issues than
others?

Thanks.
Based on actual experience...
If you want to maintain the coolness of the laptop (or desktop
replacement system )surface for several hours you should use a
cooling pad. It tends to blow away the accumulated heat......
Its difficult to find a 17 inch laptop that can remain cool for 10-12
hours of continuous use...Even with these core2 duo equipped units
the( surface near the keyboard ) still become warm after several hours
of use.

Please, do not hijack another's thread. Start your own.

Hey, I started the thread, and it seems on topic to me.

with my first laptop, a Vaio which got very hot on the underside, I did
use a cooling pad. Most of the pads I've seen are pretty crummy,
however: noisy and don't last very long.

I'm not against using a pad; I was just wondering if any brand of laptop
had a reputation for better heat management than the others.

Are Core Duo processors supposedly a bit cooler than P4s?- Hide quoted text -

Crummy and Noisy cooling pads....? LOL mine runs silently and
efficiently and its already 3 years old.
I have seen desktop replacement systems (17 inch models) used by
friends, colleagues, and relatives but when I asked them the nature of
the heat management the units still get warm after several
hours....Even the Core 2 duo systems.
I have asked people who have used other larger notebooks to have a
feel of mine and they says that this big VAIO runs cooler than their
units....( even if the cooling pad is removed) .....
Core2 duo are claimed to have better heat management but for larger
units it seems to be the same with Pentium M equipped version...these
wereconfirmed by users I communicated with....
Inspite of that
