  I'm speaking from my experience with two acers after having used a vaio
and a dell. Acer is certainly the hottest. Specifically, the 12" TM 6292,
which is my main laptop becomes uncomfortably hot to even to touch.

I often run a script that generates dummy data for my application and when I
do that, it gets so hot I have to move over to the other laptop! The CPU
temp goes above 85 deg C and the skin temp should be around 40-50 deg C!

To be fair, my other laptop, an Aspire 4736Z does not get so hot - but I do
not use it for heavy duty stuff!

regds,
mano
