    no problem, its because warm air inside the notebook is going out with that cooler and you fell it on keyboard.

    Correct on which side is the keybaord getting hot.
    The laptop keyboard should be getting hot on the left side, this is the location for the cpu and the fan.

    Yeah I noticed that left side of keyboard get warm during gaming session. But it isn't all uncomfortable probably a plus in winter time :D
    Of course I wouldn't play games on lap unless I wanna fry my own eggs. On battery mode it's very quiet and cold.

    What do you mean under hot?

    On my IFL90 the leftmost part of the keyboard under gaming gets warm, or I would say something like 40-45 degrees (moderately warm to the touch) which is still colder than any previous laptop I have owned.
