    Just bought a 6930g and I was wondering from other 6930 owners if the left side, starting from the mousepad, is hot/warm.

    Flipping over the laptop is hot to the touch. Not really sure where the primary exhaust ports are located as I don't feel any air blowing in the back of the laptop.

    I've seen reviews of this laptop where the reviewer remarks its warm on the lap.

    Other fellow owners, thoughts?

    It is very common for Blue Gemstone or recent laptops to get warm of the left side.
    Positive/common sense: Processor, Graphic card, RAM and HDD are build from middle to left. Thus, the temperature is higher than the right.
    Negative/ hardware failure: Overheated.
