    I just recieved my new Acer TM 4150. Its awesome....just one thing, when I close the flip, it goes on standby. Is there a way to disable it so the machine will still run when its closed? Thanks.

    If you are using windows check the settings under desktop properties>screensaver>power>advanced.

    Yeah, if the lid is closed the laptop gets very hot, especially where the touchpad is on my system.
