. Haven't faced overheating issues yet though. In fact, I haven't heard the proccy fan switch on once while doing stuff like watching 720p movies/net surfing and the core speed remains at around 800 mhz. I agree that the battery life is miserable, but that's only when you're using resource heavy apps/gaming.
