My laptop is hot

[Blah]

And i dont mean in a sexy way.

My room is hot because of the weather, and my laptop is VERY hot

Ive got it propped up onto things in a stilt like fashion, my windows are open and theres a fan pointing near it, but its still really hot

What i want to know really, is can it do any harm getting this hot? the fan appears to be working fine, but i want to leave it turned on as im downloading

if its not overclocked then i guess they must be tested to withstand fairly high temperatures.

[I'm With Stupid]

Yeah, unless you've modified it, it should be okay.

if its default settings and it gets too hot it will automatically shut itself off, afaik. :)

I'm probably being really obvious, but putting your :flirt: sexy laptop on a flat surface like a desk instead of on your lap/duvet would help it become more Cool :thumb:.
