Dell Studio 1558 Review: Overheating

I had brought this laptop in  2009 for 50, 000 with intel core i3, 250Gb HDD, Ati Radeon HD 5470 and 4 Gb of Ram. Specs were good for the price at that time, but this wasnt really a gaming laptop. I ran windows 7 on it and it was pretty smooth most of the time, multitasking was also good. The problems started after I started gaming in this device, The HD 5470 is a low end Gpu, games ran choppy and the laptop overheated every 1 hour of gaming.


After two years the gpu just performed poorly and overheated a lot causing shuttering and freezing, this damaged the motherboard and Dell told me I had to replace the motherboard and gpu, which costs 30000rs, so I just dumped this laptop. The screen quality was good but viewing angles were poor. The laptop speakers were not clear. Amd or Ati graphic cards produce too much heat in a laptop, so I suggest to go for nvidia Gpu in a laptop. So in conclusion a decent laptop is ruined by ati gpu.
