    I had a HP laptop which I loved, but we needed a second one in the house- so I got this new one - and although I really like it, there are some things I dont like. First and foremost my biggest peeve the darn thing is so hot when sitting on my lap. I didnt have this problem with my other HP - and wish I had known because i would have kept looking. Is this normal? There is 1 compartment on the back with little vents and its hot - IM sure its not advised to sit with a blanket because this will stop the ventalation but what do you do about something liket his?

    I bought the HP dv5-1251nr with 4GB and 320 harddrive.
