What I'm hearing is that Dells with that integrated wireless are REALLY prone to heat issues. I have a friend whos had to send his in THREE times.

My dells are all p4s without integrated wireless and I havent had that problem. I'm just not impressed with the machine as a whole.


I think I'll stick with IBM
