Well mine gets easily up to 50 when watching videos and so, now for instance I have been looking to a couple of southpark episodes and it says 52 C. Temperature in the room is about 20 C.

Hi,

I just installed linux on my x301.
With all power management tweaks, radios off and brightness at middle, powertop reachs 8W.

What are your results ?
thanks

I wanted to check in here. Have any of you guys upgraded to 9.04? Any heat issues? Is mobile broadband working? Anything else?
Thanks

Don't have the time to try. The Intel drivers are still a little screwy on 9.04, as are the audio problems, so I'm not keen on trying 9.04 for at least another month or so when I get some free time.

I've updated this to include Windows 7 setup instructions for clean install on the X301.
