I have not had any issues with overheating. This is my 2nd Acer computer. The first I retired after 8 years mainly because it is much larger and heavier. If you are careful about where you use your computer you should be fine. What I mean by that is the computer needs air flow all around it. Not good to sit it on a pillow or blanket. Your lap is good or of course a table. I build and repair computers as a home business. This is were I have learned these details.

We have experienced two laptops we had to return, they are freezing up during upload. The first we had someone look @ right away and was told to return for hard drive was bad. When 2nd one came and started the same problem we sent it back the following day. When we tried to contact Acer because we could'nt even get online with is they wanted $20.00 right away to try to help. That did if for me. We are still waiting for refund from Amazon.!!! Any touchpad was ok, it was centered correctly. Good Luck!!!

I had a constant problem with this computer overheating, even tried a HUGE cooler on the cpu, didn't help much. I have this cooler on two of my computers and I've had no problem with overheating whatsoever. I play all my games, FPS, Racers, etc., at highest settings and no problems. Wouldn't build a new computer without one.

I run Windows7 and have not had a problem. As to if it will take more Ram ask Acer

I run CS 4 on it without a problem. When I try running programs that are more graphically intensive, it gets hot and the battery life is greatly reduced. It's not a high powered GPU. All that said, it's been a solid laptop. I've been pleased.

actually one of the things i love about this laptop i the cooling feature. When gaming, it gets, warm. When just using it to go on the web, it spits out cold air. like if i left it on right now, it would be some good air conditioning.

Yes this is a BEAST never have overheating issues handles graphic intensive games with no issues. The on,y downfall is it is a larger laptop, heavy, and bulky

I think that the cooling system is pretty efficient, a little noisy, but makes the work. I work with virtual machines, that demand performance without problem. The battery life is acceptable in this conditions too (2.30 hr using the processor and disk continuosly)

My computer is about 6 months old and doesn't overheat frequently, so it's not the biggest problem for me right now. If you have a laptop that tends to overheat, it may be a problem because the case has no vents. Unless your case is closed, there is a pocket of space at the spine of the case that might let some heat escape. But on occasions where my computer overheats, I usually take it out of the case, so to answer your question: no, overall this case isn't really built to prevent overheating but I haven't experienced much overheating with it on my laptop. Hope that helps!

It does not run hot at all, but I don't use my laptop for gaming. I use it for high end programs that are very graphics intensive. It actually feels cold. The cooling system is amazing.

Yes it does get hot but only when you use the dedicated GPU(Nvidia) not the integrated one(Intel 4000)Usually when you play games or watch videos for long periods of time. It doesn't get really hot unless you put it on a surface where it can't breath well.The air vents are located on the back part of the laptop, where the display hinges but the display itself doesn't get very hot.There are some air vents below the laptop too but the main one is in the back.

Not sure about Acer. I got 3 yr warranty through amazon. Laptop's for my son going to college. 6 months in and no problems with laptop - excellent price and very stable.
