    My most recent ThinkPad also overheated an insane amount at whatever use I could put it through, and the fan was constantly running full speed. It was like that from day one, and there was no dust or anything, it was just a terrible machine.

      Yeah, the fan control was a mess too, like you clicked the mouse once and that stupid thing randomly ramped up, then immediately ramped down again. Any time you actually used the CPU it overheated anyway.

      I’m actually switching to a desktop PC now at work, that’s how sick I got of this laptop (:
