My G6-2005ax is overheating like hell....
Just after 15-20 mins of booting it reaches ~70 C but processor load is around 10-15% only....
There is no trouble of clogged heatsink nor there is any lack of ventilation(my notepal U2 handled it easily even for long gaming hours...)

I have been faceing this trouble since 2 days.

Actually both are almost same but HP one has dual graphix setup that is not consistent in older DX9 games..
But newer drivers are improving it.

So Choice is yours

try to setup your own profile with custom fan speed if possible. and compare fan speed with others here.

Also fan does keep spinning at high speed, blowing out a lot of air.

if you are using HP recommended mode (power mode), create one according to your needs.
some users have said restoring the laptop (using recovery disc most probably) fix this problem. you can try that once.

if hot air is blowing out, then fan is working well. unless the laptop cross the 100 figure mark, it is fine.

you'll need a hard drive casing. sata HDD casing will cost you 400-500 bucks locally.

yes it can play and better get the 2201AX if you want Windows 8 as it is ~1k cheaper or 2005AX in case of Windows 7.

you can always create iso files and delete the recovery partition. or download Windows 7 HB from any site (including torrents) and simply use the key to install it.

more graphics memory in 2301 & a higher pricetag. 1GB is overkill for 7670M and 2301 introduces 2GB Vram.

Vram :confused: its shared video memory with ram right :confused:does that mean 2301ax has less available free ram than 2201ax :confused:
Also can vram be increased/decreased on our discretion :confused:

2301ax also has windows 8 & the Older models are more likely to be shut down as they are allready out of stock at most places also there are New ultrabooks equipped with Amd A8 series costing around 38k !

check first post.

Vram :confused: its shared video memory with ram right :confused:does that mean 2301ax has less available free ram than 2201ax :confused:

nope. shared memory is fixed to 512MB and is only available to the integrated HD7620G. i was talking about the graphics memory of dedicated graphics memory of discrete GPU. 7670M is hardly better than my HD5670 (desktop GPU) and it has only 512MB ram still play most games at mid-high. Its just marketing strategy. Just check the reviews. People shouting "superb gaming laptop".

2301ax also has windows 8 & the Older models are more likely to be shut down as they are allready out of stock at most places also there are New ultrabooks equipped with Amd A8 series costing around 38k !

doubt 2201AX will be shut down so soon. Yes, Lenovo & Samsung has launched ultraportable (ultrabook is patented by Intel) but 38k is still priced high. 35k max. Samsung will price its ultraportable at 42k.

yes 2201ax has a total of 1.5 gb vram while 2301ax has 2.5 The vram doesn't make much difference performance wise & No you cant Increase/decrease vram hardware wise !
