I have a Toshiba Qosmio F50-10k since 2009 and even if its still in good condition (apart from a few burned pixels) it has a major problem from day 1: Overheating! And I'm talking about overheating to the point that shuts down on its own. Pretty bad because I lost a hard drive from that. I've sent it to service quite a few times but Toshiba refused to change the defective graphics card (that's the one that overheats) - processor doesn't even break a sweat, all work goes to the graphic card.
These are the specs:
Toshiba Qosmio F50-10k
Intel Core Duo 2.53GHz
4 Gb RAM
650Gb HDD
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
Windows Vista 32bit
Anyway, I'm looking for an update (not necessarily top notch),
an I5 is good (no I3 because they are no different than a Core Duo)
but I need to know if there are specific brands and/or models that have less overheating issues.
I'm not looking for a laptop with no overheating issues because there is none. And I'm certainly not considering a desktop (I travel a lot so don't mention it),
I just want to known if there are laptops that have a better management in heat issues.
