Has anyone reviewed the Performance model? Is is actually cooler than the other types?

I have not used any other ergo carrier but my little guy does get pretty warm in the performance. I don't think any carrier could really be very cool since the baby is right up against you.

I haven't tried the other inserts but we used the Performance insert on our vacation in Hawaii. My daughter is a hot, sweaty baby! She was a little sweaty when we took her out of it after an afternoon at Dole Plantation but she didn't seem to mind...she slept most of the time we were there. I didn't feel uncomfortable (heat wise) carrying her in it either.

There is no performance advantage either way. But you should pick one and stick with it. I use 568B because, for some reason, it's easier for me to remember. Go figure...

Yes it is the way it is. It has got a fast processor when loaded it needs to cool down. I agree it is somewhat loud sometimes. It is a great laptop.

I got the previous 840 model from Samsung and it is beautiful on my Ubuntu box. :) Now I'm getting this one for an Ubuntu server. Ubuntu is pretty much instant-on with the previous one and this one is faster, so enjoy!

The laptop does not get hot and the fan is not at all loud. I have trouble concentrating if there are loud noises in the room when I am writing my book. I don't even notice the fan, so, it is very quiet. If you got the cash and are on the fence for getting this laptop, let me tell you, get it! I searched Bestbuy and Fry's electronics and even online sales. This configuration is your best bang for your buck from Amazon, in features and looks. I mean, it just looks so much better than everything else out there. This laptop is LOADED with features. I am a cheap, picky tech guy, so...............trust me, I did our homework to find the ultimate machine. Don't forget, this is the I7 chip with 8 gig on the board, backlite keys, high def webcam, TOUCHSCREEN, dvd writer, double 3.0 usb ports and one 2.0 port, HDMI out, VGA out! I got the laptop almost 2 months ago and it was the best deal then. I haven't re-researched to see what is out there being that I spent over 800$. So, you would have to let me know about that end of it. Windows 8.1 is fine. I use the desktop option and it looks and feels like I am running in XP. That is the operating system I am transitioning off from. I hope this helps. Also, I am SUPER HAPPY with it! If there are any iffy reviews, those people are just hating on it! Also, the chip has the integrated HD 4600 graphics card! I am in the process of hooking up "3" EXTRA monitors up to my laptop. 2 external monitors and one HD LCD monitor. I am confident the laptop can handle it! This thing is a BEAST!

Its a pretty solid laptop, and some games you're not gonna run at full resolution like Crysis, BF3, and other infamous intensive games but they still run well. I haven 't had heat issues and once I got the Video drivers sorted out the card overclocks really well as well (which most people don't recommend but my card is overclocked significantly and stays around 70c) For the games you've mentioned though it's plenty. The overall package is pretty awesome and as a pc gamer I'm pretty happy, but at the end of the day its still a laptop.

Thanks for all the answers. I really appreciate them. I'm currently using a hyper 212 evo as many of you have recommended. The temps are really good and I think the hyper 212 evo is really good for me. I'm been using it for about 7 months now and everything is running really good. Thank you guys.

Yes, and it is awesome. My CyberPower Custom computer now runs so cool with the Thermaltake! Trust me, you will be impressed with your temps! Oh, did I mention that it is super quiet too? It is.

I am currently using the stock fan. At stock speeds my computer stays pretty cool, 15-20 C. When playing online games however, they go up to 40-45 which I guess isn't too bad. With higher settings on games/programs the fan then turns into something like a Bulldozer running over C4, extremely loud but does a pretty "Ok" job at keeping the CPU cool if it isn't put under anything over regular use stress. I would highly recommend getting a better fan if you have the money, but if not, you should be fine until you manage to get your hands on one.

accelero s1 passive cooler also a good choice...drop 35 deg. off of stock. For the money the XFX is the best card for the buck...if you got the XXX version. ....and do you care what the card looks like in the case, or on your screen?

I've had no experience with the Asus model, but I can tell you that even a little digital image manipulation results in a hell of a lot of fan acceleration, both on the video board, the comuter case fan, and the CPU fan. The short EVGA model dumps its hot (very hot air) out right into the Mobo RAM...just where it's needed :( Additionally, I've had a difficult time getting the optimal NVidia driver to install, but that very well may be a Mobo issue. Hope this helps. NOTE: If you buy the "longer" Asus model, make sure you have room in your case.

I had to order one from a separate vendor. I am glad I did. I bought a Arctic Freezer 13. It keeps the processor much cooler I have never seen my heat go over 80 f. It runs better. And quiet. But buy what you want.

Some of the older models reputedly had problems with heat management, but I've not experienced them yet. I've been using a 17" MBP for two weeks now. When it's on AC power and processing a lot it gets hot, but shut itself down? No. When not working so hard, or running on battery, the temperature doesn't stand out to me. Overall, I don't think it gets hotter than my other Intel notebooks-- they all use a lot of power at full speed.

Hey bro im going to tell my sincere experience... I bought that laptop like 1 momth ago, is got a lot of style and is very slim but i start downloading games like BF 4, Skyrim and watch dogs and in my experience the computer overheated cuz is too slim.

Is heavy but man im 6'2 so i dont care carrying a bit of weight thats it! Hope it help!

No buyers remorse here. Got and love it. It does everything and a little more for me. I've tried Windows Vista, Windows 7 (7048), Ubuntu, Backtrack 3, and it all runs pretty snappy. I can play most of my games on it too. I still keep my big laptop around for the heavy lifting: video editing, gaming, and to play with my virtual pc's. I charge the 1000HE at night and make it through the next day (obviously I don't use it constantly), so I can say I am completely satisfied. Heck, I can even check my auctions of World of Warcraft.

The cooling on the msi is far superior. It runs nice and cool with its factory oc. I also have the gigabyte windforce and had the nvidia version and this card was the coolest, while being the quietest. Also, MSI has has great software for managing the fans and osd. Get the MSI. That's my opinion from experience.

I haven't tried w/ particular model but I did w/ a Red Rider that I think has the same FPS as this one. You have got to make it a good shot though. Practice, practice, practice before you try it.
