My last laptop was a dell vostro with a nvidia card in it. The GPU ran
hot even with the proprietary drivers. After a hear and half or so the
graphics card gave out and died.

I don't think my next machine is going to have an nvidia card in it
unless it comes with a three year warranty.  Of course there is a
chance the fault was with dell and not nvidia but if you google
"ubuntu nvidia running hot" you'll see lots of complaints from other
manufacturers too.
