    HEAT.... anyone else bothered by how hot this machine gets on with extended use?

    Believe it or not I have gamed on my laptop with all my previous laptops "P150EM, MSI GT70," without problems, so you would figure the lighter/thinner Razer Blade would be even better for gaming on your lap... Turns out that's not the case, this machine can get so hot it will literally burn your skin at times.

    Anyone else experience these problems ?

    I already have one ... which is more than enough for me ... Sooo I guess the prospect of becoming sterile doesn't really scare me lol.

    Thin and light is going to run hotter since there is less room to dissipate heat.

    I previously had a couple of Dell XPS 15's, and they are just as thin as the Razer Blade laptops and are a real sleak design. The thinner the laptop, the more powerful hardware = less air flow. The more compacted internals only leads to one thing... A hotter running laptop.
