    I was just wondering if this was normal or not. Like... its pretty hot. Not anything that you can't touch but, not very comfortable to hold, thats for sure. I haven't owned a laptop so I don't know if this is common or if there might be something wrong o_O.

    Okay, thanks for the reply :). I figured it was probably common but I didn't want to take any risk w/ faulty equipment. Better safe than waiting for another month for Dell to replace fried equipment.
