    I never use a desk. I always game on my lap everywhere I go.

    Would it be uncomfortably heavy and burn my legs? The old asus I used to have had a fan in the back of the laptop so I never got burnt.

    My M17X went in my lap at night. It might be worth it to look into getting a cooler for you M15X. Even if it doesn't get hot the weight may eventually dig into your legs. But I'm a chick so I can't take the pain like you manly men. ;)

    It might not burn your leg or lap. But my sister had her laptop burn out due to vent being covered. Drawing Lent from her pant legs or bed sheets and floor. Good way to burn your system.

    There is a reason why they change the name Laptop to Notebook. Becuse when they frist came out every one was burning out the motherboard. The vents where blocked.
