Has anyone notice overheating, or that there may be restricted airflow at the bottom part of the dock?

I did not have any heat problems. My problem was that the unit had to be on before connecting to the dock which created a power surge when connecting which in turn created other problems that called for repair.

Probably need to take your cover off. I do. The dock requires power so it can't be wireless. No batteries.

I have never had this problem with mine. I do know that if you turn the sound down to silent on everything you won't have that problem when it's on the dock!

Thank you. That seems to be the norm. I have a 5 TB i want to dock and cant seem to find anything

I ventilate eveything, even liquid on the CPU. Makes it last and not overheat when I push it. I'm working, not playing games.

That sucks that your cooling pad is having issues, too. To be honest, I don't know where you can fix it with the warranty. I still place my laptop on top of the pad to give it a little better circulation, but I'm planning on buying a different pad in the future. I'm sorry I couldn't be any better help.

The bottom is open. You can plug in the charger and it should fit in a dock.

Yes I have. Mine gets hot enough that it is uncomfortable to hold. I reboot it when that happens and it seems to cure the problem for a while

Sorry, don't know as I never tried. I was very satisfied with the dock otherwise.

The full bottom of the stand I have is not open for airflow. Shaped like an X so middle of the bottom of CPU is sitting on a hard surface.

Yes bro. cause mine works fine. I was mad I had to take my case off to dock it but I've had it here for about 3 months at least and it works like its supposed to.

can't answer i'm not the seller, but I can say that having had one of these docks for just over a year i've had not problems.. In the past I had a different lenovo docking station for almost 8 years and had not problems with it

We have not had any issues with the tablet overheating. There are quite a few openings so I guess this helps with ventilation.

Nope. Hadn't had any issues. Then again, my case has good airflow... It works perfectly for me.

At one point, with a different unit, mine was doing something very similar. After some experimentation, I determined the the cooling fins were full of lint and the unit was over heating. I solved the problem by taking the unit apart up by where the fan is. I used a compressor to blow all the dust and lint from the fins. I reassembled the unit and tried it again. It worked fine.

I have not purchased a docking station for this laptop. It does seem to overheat and the fan has started making noises periodically. We keep ours on a stand to allow air circulation, but have no plans to order a docking station. If it didn't overheat would get another one. Like the keyboard feel, except for the issue with the keys I mentioned before-which I seem to have solved- and the screen is great.

I haven't had an issue yet, but it is just now starting to get hot. This will be my first summer with it. It has been awesome so far though.
