I've got my Lombard in my lap, as it virtually lives in my recliner. However, I was watching some video in VLC when I felt things getting hot. I then fired up TemperatureX and saw that my Lombard was running a smokin' 183 degrees Fahrenheit. Didn't even hear a fan, but I know there has to be on going, because it's dropped twenty-five degrees since I've been typing this email. Is this normal for a Lombard to get that hot?
I've been warned not to use my Lombard on a soft surface (like a pillow). Apparently it vents a lot of heat out the bottom and can't do that if it's got no airflow underneath. Watch another movie with the 'book on a hard surface and let us know if that improves things. I have used my Lombard on my lap but only for less demanding tasks not DVD playback and never noticed it getting hot but then I wasn't asking much of the CPU either.
