That a bit short for a 12".

If i calculate correctly, my 640m should be able to tahan ard 4.5 ~ 5hrs (normal 6 cells) wif moderate usage.

Oh... 12" for "something else" is very long liao...

ya... mine is 6 Cell running on Intel GMA.

12" should run longer since the LCD is smaller.

You can compare your temp with mine; same model; To me 43 degrees is not hot.

DELL owners, if you have nothing better to do, pop your diagnostic CD into your computer and learn how to trouble-shoot with the disk.

You need to hit F12 to boot from CD.
