So, this topic isn't really robotics related, but I felt that it best fits in this forum.

I recently purchased a Lenovo Y560 with i7 Processor, 500 HDD, and 4 GB of ram.

Part of the desire for this kind of power was for sustainability (not having to upgrade for a little while) and for
CAD stuff.

Well, the CAD stuff is definitely faster as now Inventor isn't *as* slow with large builds.

Renders are still pretty extreme. I did a max quality render on this laptop, and after 30 minutes of immense lag on the system
and the devil's fire erupting from the air vent, I decided to quit the rendering so that I may return to working on my laptop.

I'll set it to render when I'm about to step away for a couple of hours and see what the end result is.

Would be careful with pushing ye processor, too much heat and it won't go so fast anymore.

Does the computer have temperature sensors in various places? Be sweet to look at some numbers.

Did a google for ye laptop with "temperature sensors" or just "sensors", but returned nothing other than "ambient light sensor". So, guessing not.
