    Could someone tell me if this is a problem. My laptop gets hot, especially in the area just under the touchpad.

    I decided to test it out and downloaded CPUID. After watching some of a movie and browsing the web, on for about 2 hours, I get the below results.


    THMA- Value-48C, min-34c, max-59c

    core0- Value-46C, min-33c, max-61c

    core1- Value-40C, min-33c, max-61c

    GPU- Value-59C, min-53c, max-70c

    HDD- Value-35C, min-20c, max-40c

    Is this a problem?, going to pick up Crysis tomorrow and run it, to see how that goes.

    they are kinda normal for the usage you mentioned.. you should test it more (particularly for the max temp') with either gaming or something free like RTHDRIBL... google that and download it and run it for 15 - 20 mins.. it will stress ur gpu particularly and give u the max temp' which is a nice indicator..
