I have changed my e4300 by a MacBook Pro (Work Issues). If you want to increase the battery life of your laptop and reduce the temperature, check this:

It is interesting to active laptop mode and other tweaks.

P.S.

With respect to the fan, Dell replaced my fan because it got very noisy after 8 months. After the replacement was perfect (the design of the new fan was different with respect to the original)
