Hi guys,
just want to ask how "hot" is/can be the X220 4291 - Core i7 2.8 GHz, as I read in some forums, that laptops with i7 CPU are usually quite hot. cheers

Can run quite hot and noticeably noisy albeit in a quite room (more so than my C2D X200s - although that is understandable I suppose).

So, better go for the i5 one or stick to i7, as I don't like it when too hot. what's the max. CPU temp that you have ever measured BTW?

It's got to high 90s when stress tested, however, never really a problem in normal use... just gets noisy for example when editing photos or other CPU intensive activity.
