This laptop does not get very hot, which is very surprising for its very thin profile. The palm rests on both left and right stays relatively cool. The keyboard will get warm but not to any extent of discomfort. The only area that does get mildly warm, however, is the area where the JBL branded speakers are, up to the power button area. Everywhere else on the laptop stays cool and comfortable. For me, CPU temperatures reach up to 75C during intensive 3D games, which is pretty decent.

I have not had any overheating issues. Sometimes the thunderbolt cable gets warm, though.

Flawlessly, I consider myself a pretty hardcore gamer with multiple 3+ hour gaming sessions and I haven't found that the computer ever gets too hot to continue playing. The Max temp I have seen both CPU and GPU was probably around 75c. Even when it gets to that point just turn on the Turbo settings for the fan and it drops the temp to high 50s mid 60s. This laptop is a big girl so it's heat displacement is really amazing.

I've never noticed any heating at all even after several hours of use. I've left it on and the auto shut down comes on and the monitor is left cool.

I seem to recall reading in a review somewhere that the Acer C720P does have a fan but can't locate that source just now. More to the point though, this chromebook is essentially silent. It does get slightly warm on the bottom but not hot. Fan or not it is hushabye quiet.

I game with it and it does get hot, not hot enough to shut down as some speculate but enough to lag your game. This problem is easily solved with an external cooling solution.

No, it does not get hot. I have never had it overheat or even get warm to the touch.

The laptop does not get hot and the fan is not at all loud. I have trouble concentrating if there are loud noises in the room when I am writing my book. I don't even notice the fan, so, it is very quiet. If you got the cash and are on the fence for getting this laptop, let me tell you, get it! I searched Bestbuy and Fry's electronics and even online sales. This configuration is your best bang for your buck from Amazon, in features and looks. I mean, it just looks so much better than everything else out there. This laptop is LOADED with features. I am a cheap, picky tech guy, so...............trust me, I did our homework to find the ultimate machine. Don't forget, this is the I7 chip with 8 gig on the board, backlite keys, high def webcam, TOUCHSCREEN, dvd writer, double 3.0 usb ports and one 2.0 port, HDMI out, VGA out! I got the laptop almost 2 months ago and it was the best deal then. I haven't re-researched to see what is out there being that I spent over 800$. So, you would have to let me know about that end of it. Windows 8.1 is fine. I use the desktop option and it looks and feels like I am running in XP. That is the operating system I am transitioning off from. I hope this helps. Also, I am SUPER HAPPY with it! If there are any iffy reviews, those people are just hating on it! Also, the chip has the integrated HD 4600 graphics card! I am in the process of hooking up "3" EXTRA monitors up to my laptop. 2 external monitors and one HD LCD monitor. I am confident the laptop can handle it! This thing is a BEAST!

I'm using one for my A8 HD media stereaming and game playing. I don't have temperature readings for you but can tell you my computer has never overheated. My case never gets hot either as long as there is proper airflow.

I have had my monitor for 6 months and have not had any trouble with overheating. In fact, I just touched the back of it to make sure I wasn't oblivious, and it's not even warm to the touch. I love this monitor!

I have not had a problem yet - but the weather has not been very hot. Whether I will need one in hotter weather or as the laptop gets older remains to be seen.

Mine does get hot..not really hot hot. It sounds like yours might be defective..perhaps you'll have to return it.

at no time have seen that this is hot, always kept at a temperature "environment" stressing that I live in a tropical climate between 30c-35c, never noticed overheating. I recommend this laptop comfortable, lightweight and good cost / benefit ratio

I have purchased about 5 of these with the i5 and have no issues with them getting hot on the bottom. Realize that I purchased all of the New. Good Luck
