I hope your laptop doesn't have vent holes on the bottom then - if it does by sitting it on a cushion it'll block them - this is bad

My laptop does get quite warm underneath - but not too hot to sit on me legs.



Meld51 - I suppose it could depend on the manufacturor. Is your internal fan going ok? What speed is the laptop (Mines a 2.8ghz and the fan only really speeds up when I've been playing a game for a while). My dad has a Toshiba laptop and his doesn't even get as warm underneath as my Dell one does.
