    Mobile P4 3.2Ghz -- Does it get hot?

    I'm planning on getting a dell with a Mobile Pentium 4 3.2Ghz proc.

    I'm worried about how hot it can get? Do they get as hot so that you'll have to take your hands off it every so often?

    Hmm, please don't get me wrong, but there is no such thing as P4 Mobile on 3.2GHz...
    P4 CPU on 3.2GHz is regular P4 processor, not Mobile CPU...

      Sorry, but you're wrong.

      Scroll to the bottom for the mobile Pentium 4 procs.

          I don't mind the battery life, just the heat.

          I'd rather have the faster proc...

            I just purchased a Dell LT with the same processor and speed using that rebate posted here earlier.

            I hope it doesnt get hot.

              If you want a good cold mobile processor at the momment you have only 2 choices:

              - Pentium M - centrino ... expensive and slow, good battery life
              - AMD 64bit - expensive, very very very fast, bad battery life

              If you want a desktop replacement get a laptop with the AMD64 and good 17" LCD screen which does 1600 x 1200 or 1400 x 1050

              If you want to travel, get a laptop with Pentium M Centrino. It has good battery life.


              I have a laptop with P4- Mobile 1.8 ghz and if I do intensive work the fan turns on coz the processor gets up to 55 - 60 celsius and the fan is very loud, much louder than on a desktop processor.
              Go with the AMD 64bit, they run very cool, 35 Celsius to 50 max and it's fast as hell!

                At this day and age you do not want anything else than a Pentium M / Centrino

                The CPU is good enough for everything. I even encode video with a Pentium M 1.4. Get a Centrino Notebook and replace the HDD with a 7200 rpm. If there is a bottleneck then it's the HDD in notebooks.

                Fuck the higher CPU *NUMBER*, be smart and get 90% of the performance with MUCH MUCH better ergonomy & usability.
