Benchmarks: Temperature and Noise

We mentioned the added layer of refinement available to today's gaming laptops, and here's some proof. The CPU's practically cold when idle, it only just gets past 60ºC when it's running absolutely flat out across all cores, and the GPU peaked at 67ºC when gaming.

The P57W still gets warm when stressed, but temperatures are comfortable and the two built-in fans aren't overzealous. They can always be heard, but they keep reasonably quiet at low load and only become noisy when the going gets tough.
