Hi,
I am in the market for a new laptop, starting my BS in Computer Science this fall and really want a laptop that will last me a WHILE. I definetely want an i7 core processor, and would REALLY like around a 15 in screen for portability, but I'm worried that small a laptop would get too hot with an i7 and was wondering if I moved up to a 17 in if that would help disperse the heat better. Kinda clueless, really looking into the Dell's 1558 Studio and Studio 17, I am REALLY interested in the Studio 17 but I'm afraid I will not be able to carry it well, as I have dial up (DSL not available to me, live out in the boondocks) and most of my classes are online so I will have to carry my laptop to a wifi hotspot. I really want the works, a great processor, 500 GB hard drive, 6 gigs memory, decent video card, I'll need to run applications like Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver and the such. Any advice would be G R E A T.
