    Hello, everyone:

    I just bought an M14x and the zone in the picture is getting somewhat hot (not much, but it's noticeable) and the fan doesn't stop running even on Power Saver after an hour of use or so. I still get very good battery life, considering the fan is running practically all the time. Is this situation normal?

    Mine is extra hot in that spot right now.
    Not scary hot, just a bit hotter than the rest.

    I see...do you know what piece of hardware is there. I'm guessing HDD or battery. Also, does your fan run constantly after an hour of use or so? Mine doesn't stop
