    Yes, mine got super hot all the time. It even shut down once. I had to get a Cooling Pad for it and took care of the problem. Infact it worked so good the internal fan never kicks into "High" speed anymore unless I am without my Cooling Pad.

    It isn't a "Gaming" PC etc.... so if you are pushing the Graphics limit etc... it is gonna get hot.

    I had it for 6 months and then decided I need more juice... so I traded up for a HDX 18t.
