    Well, not sure if this is a problem. But it's very annoying. This is my first notebook ever, and it gest very hot in the upper keyboard and back. I can feel the heat all over. I can't put it on my lap cause it hurts. lol


    Is it always that hot? are all notebooks like this? Is there something I can do ?

    Thanks for your answers

    How long have you had it? If youve had it awhile and have never blown compressed air into the vents( you should do that once a week in my opinion) you might be clogged with dust. I also suggest you download I8kfangui, once you set that up you can monitor the temps of your cpu,chipset,gpu if you have one, hd and mem, I set my e1505 to run the fan on low constantly, my cpu stays in the lower 30's c under light load, and middle 40's heavy(around 95-115 F) so check for dust, download and use I8kfangui, and make sure your not blocking intake exhaust vents, preferablt use the machine on a hard flat surface when possible, and never a pillow,bed carpet etc without something hard and flat underneath good luck
