    I am not using my wireless card. the heat is coming near the mic at bottle left of the keyboard. Is it because of the video card? but I am not using the video card intensively, just regular web browsing.

    Most likely, on the 15.4" models, I know the video card is in that area. Even under non-intense use, it will still get warm. You could download ntune from nVidia's site to monitor temps and see where it is at if you are concerned.

    thanks, my left hand gets sweating after I use the keyboard for a while. :( I have the T61 14' normal screen.

    Yeah you can also download RivaTuner to see your GPU's temperature.
