That is a nice one. I have never seen that one before. The only thing to consider is the USB power - that draws again on the laptops electricity (=heat). I prefer the ones that are powered from the wall outlet.

I have two X Pads and can speak to how well they work. Well work is an odd term for a static item but work they do. Sometimes the simple answers are the best !

If you really want to know, look up the specs of the CPUs and the higher the Wattage the more heat. E.g. the Intel i7 950 has 130 Watt and the i5 661 has 87 Watt (some of the other i5's have 95 Watt). Compare that to an equivalent bulb in your lamp and you know how much heat we are talking about.

Lol @ the Xpad marketing.

In your bag that is larger than you!
It may work, but that bag is ridiculous.

I just looked it up on google, and the i7 740 and 840 are both 45 watts...one more question, does the higher the processor effect battery life?

Those are the QM versions for laptops @ 1.7GHz. The more watts it draws, the shorter will your battery stay up. But "battery life" per se (like in total lifetime) is probably little effected.
