M700 Owners - Can you answer a Question Please?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Nope my fine does not run much. However, the cpu is clocked down and
rarely goes above 1GHz. I thought this was the reason it did not run.
I have a two year warranty so I should see quickly if there is a
problem.

Hope this is not a problem. I will install something tonight to check
the temps.

Thanks for the post.
