There are lots of people on that forum, several talking about overclocking (including the GPU (?!)). They may have broader experience.<br /><br />But for Skyrim, it runs smooth as silk at ultrahigh settings on the laptop display (Greg Pfisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651996181651540140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459145598570447682.post-75412707490489342502012-05-01T20:28:34.004-06:002012-05-01T20:28:34.004-06:00Good to know, thank you!

It's always been perfectly comfortable; not even warm on my legs. (Even wearing shorts. :-) )<br /><br />However, I've not done any heavy-duty gaming with it on my lap. Email, twitter, that kind of thing only, and the "turboboost" doesn't get the CPU up above minimal for that Greg Pfisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651996181651540140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459145598570447682.post-64202596940987479282012-05-01T18:31:58.455-06:002012-05-01T18:31:58.455-06:00Nice review!

The issues you have wouldn't be issues for me as I don't use those features (like the keyboard/trackpad issues, lit keyboard, etc).

I'd presume that's optimistic, but even so it points to being pretty fair. I wasn't running any heavy games.<br /><br />By the way, there's a discussion thread on Notebook Review about the Y470p; you might find someone with more info there. http://Greg Pfisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651996181651540140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459145598570447682.post-86800805043556396792012-03-02T20:30:37.416-07:002012-03-02T20:30:37.416-07:00whats the battery life like?whats the battery life like?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459145598570447682.post-41328357784366427662012-02-17T20:14:37.275-07:002012-02-17T20:14:37.275-07:00You're right.
