A lot of laptops do have a tendency to run hot. You can usually get a fan to set it on which helps keep it cool. Also need to make sure to clean it here and there. They do have a tendency to get dusty inside. A lot of people are nervous about taking it apart and cleaning it because it is easy to fry something when you do that. If anyone ever needs help with that, I am more than glad to help. Computers is a bit of a hobby of mine.
