    I don't know, it was just really hot on my leg, and my hands wear getting moist.

    Also later, when I was just surfing the web in safari, I went to a site and the tab just froze up, I then tried to open up firefox to see if maybe it was safari since safari has bugs, and the CPU went up to 50% and the RAM hung at about 75% use... the heat went up to 80c and even with the fans full blast, the temp was stuck at 80c. I closed EVERYTHING and still the fans were blasting and the temp was at 80c. I had to reboot.

    current cpu and RAM 6% and 50% respectively.
