    Please don't double post threads.

    I'm pretty sure the heat you are referring is normal. How hot is it?

    Well there will always be a slight warmth from the processor fan depending on what programs you are running. The only time I think that it may be uncomfortable is when you are generally using the processor to the max ie: gaming or some other high process.
