    The left palm rest is where the hard drive sits. I don't know of any way to reduce the heat there.

    Your hard drive could be working harder than usual, causing it to heat up more.

    Try reducing uneccesary processes and programs that are running. (especially ones that are running in the background)

    what is this crap????

    i downloaded hwmonitor and my laptop is running like 7 or degrees hotter with the adapter plugged in than when it was running on battery....

    what the hell???????

    the adapater says 65 watts....

    is it normal for it to run hotter on the adapter? i would think it would be the other way around....

    any thoughts?
