    Hey, just got my new 1210 (from Dell Outlet, Australia) and just wondering if...

    anyone else has noticed that their usb ports get quite warm to touch (though not uncomfortably so) when in use

    Would this be related to the integrated-webcam-running-hot issue (which I also have)?

    Thanks

    Notebooks usually get warm when they are in use, it is not uncommon at all, the heat inside the machine escapes not only through the heatsink but travels through out the machine aswell.
