    Noticed the fan was running allot and pretty loud. checked the task manager and looks like kaspersky was consuming allot of cpu but not for long. it just seems in basic operation the cpu is like 50-80% utilies in task manager. After restarting it was better but it still seems to be running so hot. so fin the touch screenisnt very sensitive and doesnt register the touches as smoothly as I would expect but thats another issue that could just be the tablet design.

    What really bugs me is the overheating temp that its getting to with normal office work. will look at what apps are really using allot of cpu anyone recommend a program for that? Would replacing the thermal paste help? any help greatly appreciated not fun having this thing buzzzzzzing the whole time.

    Thanx in advance.
