First post..

Got the 3830T for a few days now, i actually didnt do any research before buying it i saw it in a retail store and just bought it i guess i was lucky because it seems like a great little device... Long gone are the headaches from using a 10inch eee pc..

Considering about changing the hd to an ssd but i am not sure if its needed as i will only use this machine for internet browsing, movies when travelling and emails.

BC2 gets pretty warm for me to. The CPU will sometimes get into the like 95 range. But, i dont have a laptop cooler yet.
i dont understand how throttlestop works.. need to read more first =/

oh the screw on the bottom of the laptop.. holding the base cover.. need to remove the cover in order to remove the wire like mesh that is restricting the air flow..?

im going to buy a laptop cooler.. looking at Coolermaster U2.. any gd recommendations?

btw.. when running BC2.. what settings are you on?

cooler master U2 is good.

BC2 is like a mix of mostly medium and some low.

It must be a region based thing, as there is no sticker like that on mine.

I have a question for you guys.... How do you set the default GPU on wall power? I have an issue where when I play games that don't support the intel HD video chipset like magicka for example I have to go in and manually set the Nvidia GPU to default so that it will see the Nvidia GPU and not the intel one.

Is there a way around this?
