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 > -- > Computers are useless.
