    I just got a new 6930p. It's rather warm on the left side where the palm would rest and causes a rather big discomfort.

    Is there any type of cooling pad that would cool it down? I haven't found anything on the web that might help.

    I would rather check out why it becomes hot in the first place. The HDD is located in that place - may be heating up, but this depends on what kind of HDD it is (?).

    For instance, my 6930p runs about 18h /day and doesn't become hot on the part of the palm rest that it would be discomforting. I am using a 500 GB WDC hdd.

    It doesn't become "hot", I would say warm. Maybe I am just more sensitive to it then others.
