Budget build for Diablo

83c at load seems fairly hot though, what are the idle temps? Is it mainly this hot weather or is it usually around 80c at load? Cheers though, looks decent windows score for the price.

Usually around 70c, but today my room is pretty... warm. And remember, laptop chips usually take a lot more heat unlike their desktop counterparts. Touching the laptop while gaming feels no where near that temp. Idle temps are usually 40c odd.

Fair enough, any other information you can give about this laptop? any problems you've experienced with it?

Only real problem I have with it is the lack of numpad, but I don't really use that.

Cheers for that, I'm going to buy it. Good little laptop for the price I think, I just don't want to be underwhelmed and regret not buying a desktop for a similar price

Diablo 3 pretty much only loads 1 core (certainly on my system) so it's not gonna tax the CPU. GPU will be on full load.
