Specs etc please. Does it heat up much?

Thanks

EDIT

Im either getting one of these

Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
• Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor P8400 (2.26 GHz)
• 15.4" diagonal WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Infinity Display (1680 x 1050)
• 3GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
• FREE Upgrade to 250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery


Does anyone know how that ram comes? 2 sticks? I'll be upgrading to 4gb a few weeks after I get it. Anything else I should change? Or does it look ok?


Now this thing is pretty amazing. But im not sure if I can get it before the sale is over. And its over my budget normally.

ProcessorIntel� Core(TM)2 DuoProcessor Speed2.26GHz
Display TypeWUXGA TFT widescreen (1920 x 1200)
Screen Size17"System Bus1066MHzCache Memory3MB on die level 2
System Memory (RAM)4GBType of Memory (RAM)PC-6400 DDR3Hard Drive Type
Serial ATA (7200 rpm)Hard Drive 200gb
NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTSVideo Memory512MB

The older versions of this also have serious overheating and freezing problems, so I would have to find a newer one which may be a problem.

I have one. Asus A6T. No, it doesn't heat up much. I have a monitor connect to it, as well as a keyboard.

I have an Acer Aspire 5290G and it doesn't heat up at all, because I'm running cooling fans below it like this stuff http://www.revoltec.de/revoltec_web/html/cooling.htm

I would definitely recommend using that at least during summer because otherwise your laptop may get damaged
Also use at least another keyboard because you don't want your laptop to become dirty (laptop keyboards can't really be cleaned)
