    Okay, so after observing for months, I found out that the hottest part of my M1330 is the WLAN card. How about your laptop?

    My screen when Hannah Montana is on it, bout time we got some new jailbait to replace the Olsens. Seriously though nothing on my m1210 gets really hot, the lower part of the screen on my 6400 did get uncomfortably warm though.

    I don't know why it gets so hot. It's just the HD which doesn't create that much heat. My last laptop had the HD in the same location and made no heat. I guess there must be something else in there that I can't see.

    Nothing on my M1330 really gets "hot". The vents, of course, are probably the warmest. But besides that, I'd say maybe the left palmrest. Nothing uncomfortable or noticeable, though.

    Ugh, how can you look at that trailer trash? She looks like Britney Murphy and Hillary Duff got together and gave birth to a mullet.

    But enough about the declining quality of today's hotties, the hottie on my machine is definitely the T7500 processor when playing Portal.
