is there any heating problem in netbooks n they consume more power @raksrules

Actually netbooks are supposed to less power consuming devices (vis-a-vis notebooks). But this one is sort of cross between netbook and notebook.
As far as heating problem is concerned, i have not faced any issues. Yes if some high memory hogging app is running or something utilizing too much CPU cycles is running it tends to heat a bit but nothing to be worried about. It is just normal. I feel the heat dissipation is good on this netbook.

The only time once i felt that it got a bit hot was when i tried playing 720p HD video since it consumes 100% CPU time. Moreover as i mentioned above, HD playback sucks so i almost never play HD content on this lappy of mine so not much of an issue to me.

just bought msi x340 from croma;
croma guys says warranty is 1 year but the manual says 2 years, someone pls confirm (BTW bought with extended 2 yr warranty)

To gives u heads up tried following video files:
720p - work with no issues (CPU = ~20%)

1080p - no issues at all (CPU = ~45%)

flash/youtube 720p -no issues (80+%)

flash/youtube 1080p - slideshow (using flash version 9) need to try with version 10 beta

Totally loving the weight/price vs performance
if it helps..
