Am afraid its a bit late for that. Bought the laptop 2 weeks ago. It does get pretty hot at the bottom left hand side.next to the cursor pads.
I realy should be calling HP regarding this.
The Core Duos are gettin cheaper...do u reckon thats because they have to sell off XP laptops due to the imminent arrival of Vista?
