    Hi guys,

    I recently received the HP mini that I ordered and as the site here said, there is a heating issue that I observed.

    I was going through the installation process on XP last night and probably after 20 or so minutes, the laptop had gotten very warm by the mouse pad area [and the pad itself]. I tried listening for the fan and felt the vent which is on the side, but I didn't feel any heat coming from the laptop.


    I know heating is somewhat of a problem with smaller laptops, but the review I read is that the laptop becomes unbearable after 30-45 minutes??? Is that true? How can I solve this issue myself or should I send it to HP?


    The pixels and the screen was fine so I would hate to return it just because of it getting hot too much.
