    Hey,

    As some of you might remember, I have got a new 6400, which is my first laptop. I noticed that right part of the keyboard gets really hot after some use, but left is cool. Is this normal? I guess heat distribution cannot be even but is it ok to have it this discrete? What is the deal with your E1505/ 6400?

    cheers,

    that is because there is no fan on the right side of the notebook only the left side

    the hard drive is on the right side, usually they heat up after an extended period of time. Mine idles around 45 degress C. The heatpipe/sink and fan are also on the right-hand side and that helps keep the left side cool, as compsavy mentioned. If it bothers you, consider using a notebook cooler than blows on the hard drive or prop it up to allow better airflow.
