As mine comes without AMD graphics the system is actually always cool to the touch at the bottom, the only part that gets hot is the bloody hard drive compartment below the touchpad ... the HDD as I was told is not user-replacable (according to Dell anyway) and as such warranty will be void. I want to swap it out for a 256Gb Crucial M4 SSD so badly .. I absolutely hate the fact that they had put SATA2 HDD in a SATA3 compatible machines and also the fact that the HDD is 7200RPM so as soon as you put your hands on the palmrest you can feel the machine vibrating if it's sitting at the table surface... not so much when you have it on the lap though. Bollocks ..
