    As per the above, I ran a health report and there is no bulging. I know the GS series like most thin and light full power gaming machines done have much in the way of shielding from heat.

    Its the battery connector that gets hot, I guess this makes sense given the capacity and energy required.

    How hot is too hot? I can keep my finger underneath on the chassis, it just feels beyond warm bordering on hot in that very specific area. Its always been this way.

    Do other 150w draw machines get hot battery to mobo connectors? My other machines are a thick Alienware which id never notice and a thin Asus which is 15w CPU with no gpu. It doesnt even get warm sitting on a bed lol
