      My Dell laptop gets VERY warm and even comes with a warning not to use it on your lap in case you burn your legs (or worse!). :)

The air coming from the fan vent is always very warm - useful since it is cold where I work! It would be nice if there was a vent on the right side too, since I would be able to use both hands for typing! This is my fourth laptop and all of them run very warm since all of the system's components are physically close to each other.

          It's a particularly unwholesome feeling having a laptop on your lap that gets warmer and warmer... cheers, Chris Maunder

              I too have a Toshiba, actually typing in the reply on it, model Satellite 3005. It does get way warm when I am working for awhile with it plugged in our not. The heat seems to be concentrated on the bottom near the processor and RAM. Don't worry, I've been using mine for the last couple of months and it's still chugging along :-) Sam C ---- Allsys Technologies http://www.allsystech.com "Making software simpler..."

                      Don't worry laptops do get warm. My compaq gets pretty warm. Mind you its the 1Ghz processor that is the problem, as they don't have as much breathing space as they do in a desktop. Nick.:)
