Hardware Guide for X3

[Barton Brown]

Larry, just to make matters more confusing, take a look at the Intel processor chart at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_i7 and look at the TDP column (max power dissipation). i7's range all the way from 130 watt down to 18 watt. The i7-820QM in my laptop is rated at 45 watt. The other Sager I looked at was "desktop replacement" notebook with an i7-920 which is rated at 135 watts! I'll bet that notebook runs hot or has enough fans that it pulls itself down to the tabletop when they are running.
