Temperature of what? 36 Celcius (give or take a bit) is body temperature, so 28 Celcius is very cool.

While some users exceed 36°C when browsing, others seem to stay really cool during browsing :lol:

As JDH pointed out, 28°C for a cpu is very cool. That´s almost room temperature. I don´t know how you manage that, but it´s in fact good for your laptop. It will live longer ;) As for the stickers, I´m going to remove my OS sticker (it´s for XP, but I don´t even use XP), it´s anyways rubbed out, so it looks awful. Besides, the ATI and Intel stickers are enough for me from aesthetic standpoint.

Cheers

If the stickers for you never moved and never got guckey, would you ever consider removing them. What are the advantages of having them?

I also did a stress test for 45 minutes with my CPU at 100% and all the temperature went to for the CPU is 57 Celcious.

I do not remove the palm rest stickers until they become disfigured. Then I do. My T61p had a sticker on the lid that was removed as soon as it had run non-stop for 72 hours. ... JDH
