Temperature? I am shopping a couple of netbook models, this HP, the Samsung GO, and the Toshiba Miniand I just want to know if this model gets really hot at the bottom?

regret to inform you ...but a laptop really does not belong on a lap. they are hot because they are a extremly compact version of a pc computer. laptops are delicate and not meant for constant use like pc's . they will overheat if suffocated. laptop is a very expensive toy designed for business persons on the go that cant take their whole pc with them on the road or traveling. laptop is a handy item for business or on the road or for college. laptops are very expensive to repair or upgrade. let your laptop breath....

Nothing significant. When it comes to heat, there's nothing to worry about unless it is slowing down when it gets hot. There have been times where the laptop has felt slightly hot, but nothing slowed down and it wasn't uncomfortable, so I didn't worry about it. Cooling pads are cheap if you think it'll be an issue. This has been a great laptop for me though.

at no time have seen that this is hot, always kept at a temperature "environment" stressing that I live in a tropical climate between 30c-35c, never noticed overheating. I recommend this laptop comfortable, lightweight and good cost / benefit ratio

Gary, I do have a question you might be able to answer for me. Since I'm home a lot using the netbook, should I conserve my battery as I'd seen someone mention elsewhere? Is is best to remove the battery and use the power cord to do so? Is that harmful in any way to battery life or computer?

Th laptop is fast runs fairly cool under full load considering its a laptop, never got concerned about the temp. Screen quality was fine too. All this considered i sent it back because the overall build quality felt very poor and it was just a lot bigger then i was willing to put up with.

Not always...laptops are meant to run at high temperatures...even up to 90 degrees Celsius. But it is common knowledge that heat it bad and cool is always good. You can test to see if it helps but more often than not, a cooler isnt needed. Internal fans keep laptops at a set temperature(if you think like a fan in a car). I hope this helps you out.

The laptop gets very warm if left unregulated. I actually fried a mobo while playing bf4 and it got up to 97C. Now that i got the mobo replaced i downlowded nvidia inspector and you can limit the temps in that application. Since I lowered the maximum temp to 85 degrees it has been working with out skipping a beat and I don't see a noticable performance hit while gaming either.Hope this helps

I just tested mine. It's well-padded on the sides. Not so much on the bottom. I don't know what brand of laptop you use, so I can't speak to that with complete accuracy. It will depend partly on the thickness. But I use a similar laptop, and never had a problem with mine.

When playing a heavy game, the laptop can get hot however there is a "super fan" button that you can press to increase the RPM for the fans that is pretty noisy but gets the job done. I've never had an issue with the laptop overheating.The sceen quality is really great, colors are vibrant, even games which are older look really great with this laptop.

Do you have the ASUS Eee 1015PED?I have used it for hours on end and it still doen't get hot enough to cause any issues.

I noticed it does run a little hot but it has never had a thermal event. The BIOS in this particular model is incredible. There is a lot you can do to configure and customize. I install these all over for many of my clients and they love them. The only thing I did not like it that it did not come with internet. Had to use a wifi card because the wifi msata mini that came on the unit did not work

Yes, it stays nice and cool. Seriously a really great laptop for the price. I use it daily.

It is just a feature that is beneficial to this laptop. Toshiba makes a great system, and in this design, power consumption, and power management is a big factor vs. battery life. You will hear the fan speed up as needed to dissipate heat...which at times I agree can get fairly loud... but heat is an enemy of PC electronics...so the less heat internally the better. Should add long life to this laptop.

The laptop does not get hot and the fan is not at all loud. I have trouble concentrating if there are loud noises in the room when I am writing my book. I don't even notice the fan, so, it is very quiet. If you got the cash and are on the fence for getting this laptop, let me tell you, get it! I searched Bestbuy and Fry's electronics and even online sales. This configuration is your best bang for your buck from Amazon, in features and looks. I mean, it just looks so much better than everything else out there. This laptop is LOADED with features. I am a cheap, picky tech guy, so...............trust me, I did our homework to find the ultimate machine. Don't forget, this is the I7 chip with 8 gig on the board, backlite keys, high def webcam, TOUCHSCREEN, dvd writer, double 3.0 usb ports and one 2.0 port, HDMI out, VGA out! I got the laptop almost 2 months ago and it was the best deal then. I haven't re-researched to see what is out there being that I spent over 800$. So, you would have to let me know about that end of it. Windows 8.1 is fine. I use the desktop option and it looks and feels like I am running in XP. That is the operating system I am transitioning off from. I hope this helps. Also, I am SUPER HAPPY with it! If there are any iffy reviews, those people are just hating on it! Also, the chip has the integrated HD 4600 graphics card! I am in the process of hooking up "3" EXTRA monitors up to my laptop. 2 external monitors and one HD LCD monitor. I am confident the laptop can handle it! This thing is a BEAST!

I just received this item today and I've been running it all day for the last 6 hours. As to how far in temperature does it drop, I don't know. I do know that the bottom of the lap top is not hot yet. In fact, it isn't even warm. Before I bought this, I was running an Antec fan with my laptop, which also kept the pc from running hot. So, as far as a cooling fan goes, I'd say this Logitech lapdesk is as comparable, if not better than just a cooling fan. The great sound from the speakers and it being a lapdesk are great additions, if you're looking for those niceities. As I said, I already had a good working cooling fan for my laptop, which was considerably cheaper than this lap desk is. I bought this for the speakers so I can watch movies, etc. The cooling fan is a plus for me, as is the lap desk. I don't have to worry about a hot pc on my lap anymore, not being able to hear movies and don't have to use a book to set my laptop on. If you're looking for an all in one unit with cooling a priority, I see no reason not to purchase this item. Of course, the price is a high right now. I paid $59.99 last week at Amazon and this week it has jumped nearly 20 bucks. Check around, or set an Amazon alert to see when the price goes down. Best Buy also had it on sale last week for $59.99, so I'm sure sale prices will come and go. Of course, if you just want a stand alone cooling fan, those are much cheaper. I paid around $29.99 for mine from Amazon. Hope this helps you out.

I bought mine in May and it doesn't get hot at all. Honestly, I really love this laptop. Definitely worth the money.
