Does this get hot at the bottom. I got a refurbished i5 which ran very hot with minimal cpu utilization

I very seldom hold it in my lap, but it does not seem to get overly hot. I sometimes use it on a pillow and have never had a problem with to much heat. this has been a really good tablet/laptop and I would recommend it to anyone that likes windows 8. It took me a while to get used to, but I now use quite a lot. Long battery life is a big plus.

I have purchased about 5 of these with the i5 and have no issues with them getting hot on the bottom. Realize that I purchased all of the New. Good Luck

It can run pretty hot, but I've never had any performance issues from overheating. If you're really that worried about it, buy a cheap cooling pad. Mine cools it down easily even while gaming.

As long as the fans on the bottom are not covered, personally i have had no problems with noise or getting too hot, gaming on it has ben perfection.

I haven't had any problems with it at all. Currently, it keeps the cpu temperature down to @ 40 c.

nope, this little guy run very very cool. I've never even felt mine start to get warm. I'm impressed as I've never seen a netbook that's been able to stay that cool with a decent graphics card like this one has.

No, that does not sound normal at all. Mine has never heated up noticeably, even when transferring hundreds of gigabytes. Sounds to me like there's something the matter with yours.

I'm running 4.433 on stock right now. Temps can get warm but not detrimental if you turn up the cpu fan speed. Completely stable as well.

That shouldn't happen. If there is a rise in temp, there might be a few causes: quantity of compound used or wasn't uniformly applied, the processor & heatsink plate weren't cleaned properly (you can use either absolute alcohol or some specialized cleaner you might find), heatsink screws are too loose and the plate isn't making a proper contact with the processor, or your source power has an issue.

AMD says it's supposed to run hot. To keep cool, turn up fan on card, have well venelated case, or use external fan. Card is so worth it. Buy it.

Yeah it runs pretty hot, I picked up a laptop cooling pad for mine and seems to do pretty well after that.

There is a vent on the left side, and it can get warm when running heavy applications, but it doesn't overheat on the bottom or top. A good computer will get warm when running applications. When surfing, it stays pretty cool. It's much better than an HP or Compaq I have.

Bottom is open. You would have to set it on a solid platform.I have a Dell Latitude 630 that use to get extremely hot. It does an excellent job keeping the laptop cool. I plan to get another for my son's laptop.

You need a heatsink+fan for the CPU, it will definitely fail under load and/or melt. The main thing is the heatsink, which should have come with your CPU. If you are just trying to eliminate fans, you can maybe get away with removing the fan from the heatsink but that is unlikely I would guess, unless it is a very nice aftermarket heatsink.

Mine is warm to the touch but not excessive. The power supply is very warm though. I am going to look for a new one to replace it. Hope this helps.

I didn't have any high temps, but I only ran it stock long enough to verify it works. I basically always replace stock sink and TIM. If you're intending on using this for pretty demanding stuff (gaming, photo/video editing, 3D modeling and render, etc.) I'd recommend replacing TIM and sink.

I've never experienced any heat issues. It's a solid laptop; I use for both work and personal.

I've used it for over a year and never had an over-heating issue. The computer gets warm when gaming or video editing, with or without the case on. I've never compared the actual temperature difference, but it seems to be insignificant.
