Perhaps you should take your own advice, because this is just not true (and I am comparing the SP3 to the 4300u SP2). The SP2 will outperform the SP3 in application requiring SUSTAINED CPU usage - this has been shown numerous times in the SP3 forum.sorry but if you had read the forums a little better and educated yourself a little better, you wold have seen that the SP3 outperforms the SP2 in MOST cases and only through heavy GAMING does the SP2 fair a little better and throttles less... BUT THATS IT, the SP3 outperforms the SP2...
And I have never heard of on SP2 encountering a thermal shutdown due to Windows update...
Again, you don't know what you are talking about. I have never complained about it being too heavy.100G is 100g for people like you who are complaining about it being heavy lol
