Yes, they do run hot, but somehow they do have longer life spans. I don't know why, the quality on the inside seems same. I find that with PC mobos the power regulator circuitry is the first to go. Both had that issue and since they are soldered on the mobo, it meant a whole motherboard swap, which costs about the same as a new laptop. So F that!!!
