running smooth and fast; additional fan may be needed if you use movie making

Worst overpriced thing i ever bought. So defective its just decorating my appartment right now and I have only been able to use it for less than 5 months. Crappy sound system, terrible mucrophone, overheats in few minutes and the fan is as loud as a spaceship

After I bought only 4 months, my kirabook has been a critical problem. It has been sent a repair center. I hope it will be working well...

Yes a little bit, but the laptop after 8 months presents a malfuction. When is on, the screen only show colors green, red, blue and white. And stay like that all the time. I could not work. I gonna send the laptop to take a look.

I believe every hardware gets hottee as they get more stressful tasks. As far as I have used, it doesn't get noticeably hotter than any other laptops I have used. All you need is a decent laptop cooler.

I sent this back because of something about the software it had on it. Having used another such laptop: This is WONDERFUL. If you are a fast typist, the keyboard is a godsend. I really miss it. It is very comfortable to work on. It does not heat up like some do. Darn, I would love to have one. For the same price, I bought a desktop from Quill.com (a Dell refurbished for $300, far less than Dell would dream of selling it for. Wish you luck finding a laptop like this one, Dawn.

Yes I have. Mine gets hot enough that it is uncomfortable to hold. I reboot it when that happens and it seems to cure the problem for a while

One of the biggest reason is that the new version do not get overheated, it continues to be fresh even working for long hours. Also the retina display is amazing!

I have my Note SGH-i717 in it and it's great. It does get warm if you try to do a lot of things at once. I am very pleased with mine and would recommend it.

It does; thanks. You sound like you really love your chromebook! Alas, I decided that since I want something that has a desktop (but the advantages of the cloud), I decided to get a "regular" netbook and install Joli OS onto it. Joli is a linux OS (based on Umbuntu) that is a halfway point between desktop based systems and cloud based systems. Really like it so far. Having no desktop was a little too much of a leap for me, as I don't want to be absolutely tethered to wi-fi.

I Have Never Had a Problem With This Laptop Overheating And I Use It For Obese Software Such As QuickBooks, Photoshop And Google Sketchup/Make

I would say it gets warm, certainly nothing near as hot as the older generation. The hard drive is barely audible and with much less vibration than the previous.

Thanks, I took a look at that thread and I've really been studying up on this notebook and the various versions of it. This is by far the best value of all of them. Hopefully they will get them back in stock or have an updated version in the near future.

how hot is hot? i dont think heat would affect the reader but heat is bad for electronics all together i dont know for sure but id say 100 degrees an under i think you would have more difficult time in cold before heat hope this helps did you try tech support at barska? im sure they have tested this in all situations i havent had any problems with mine as long as you keep the reader glass clean oily skin affects the reading otherwise it works everytime for me

I don't know. I think it probably would. There is nothing wrong with the Kirabook. It probably would connect to a video beam, connect to Wi-Fi, or print to a printer or lots of other things it can't do....because of Microsoft!!!!! Whatever problems I have had have been with Windows 8. That is the most miserable operating system ever dumped on a paying public. It qualifies for a class action lawsuit.

I do know of at least one person on the notebook review forums that has one and loves it...HOPEFULLY they're better now. I have heard of a lot of problems with Rosewell's, and even some with Das Keyboard, soooo I don't know what the heck to buy!

Ive noticed mine running quite a bit hotter, I think its because the system is able to run faster, so it takes a little more power to the processor. I have compared power specs of the drives, and they are VERY similar, so its not a problem there. I can get a thermometer and compare temps, I have a stock one I use also, so I can run them side by side, and take temps from both to see how they compare. I have ran it quite a bit with the new drive, it IS noticeably faster, and I haven't had any issues yet with stability or crashes.

Search Chromebook 2 benchmark and see what you come up with. Some of the early indications don't sound real promising. Still, until there are some reviews that really put one through its paces its just speculation, as benchmark tests aren't always the end all be all of performance. I pre-ordered one and will be writing a review. Fingers crossed.
