I can cool it by 30F by simply putting the back "feet" down and sliding an empty Zip disk case or two under the front. That way, it's still stable to work on, and the air circulates -- it's off the surface of your workspace. That, and one of those cutesy little desktop mini-fans: presto, much cooler. You could spend bucks on CoolPads, but this way you don't have to. I hardly ever shut it down (except for software installation -- well, I restart -- and restart during occasional troubleshooting). I use sleep; I don't shut it down. It's plugged into the AC here at home, and yes, it gets hot, the bottom especially. I've found that if you just elevate and ventilate, things go well. -- If you can read this, you've gone too far.
