So while syncing my music library to the iPad the hardware monitor on my laptop showed the CPU/GPU shoot up to 210+ deg F and it locked up. My laptop uses ONE stupid little heatsync for both the descrete graphics chip AND the dual core processor. The solders go and then it's all over. Dell replaced the motherboard three times under warranty, but I'm out of warranty now and SOL.
The iPad is pretty cool, but it's not a laptop replacement, and it's not worth the $600 to me right now. Maybe some other day. I'm going to pack it up and bring it back. Time to go laptop shopping now... grr.
