Does it get very hot? Someone mentioned in the reviews the edges where you place your wrists when typing are sharp, has anyone else had this problem?

No. It doesn't get any hotter than other laptops. It has one major drawback though , the wireless internet is garbage. It doesn't work very well if you are more than 10 feet from the source.

No! It doesn't get hot, warm but not hot. Great speed and it connected wireless to my router quickly and works as fast as my Desktop. There are no sharp edges!

I haven't found this to be the case. Some people may not be allowing their laptop to air while it's on their laps. They are covering up the sides with blankets or pillows prohibiting full vetalation. For any computer, overheating could be the case in this situation. I recommend this laptop if you are looking to buy it. It is the perfect size and functions really well. :)And like the guy said below, I have not found the Internet to have any issues. He very well could be having this problem but I haven't experienced this.

NO NO NO NO NO You are always going to get some idiot that don't know what they are talking about. Nothing like that at all very little heat.

I love mine. it has the little nubs so I can find the home row. It takes minimal getting used to (pardon my grammar). In the past I worried about the bacteria on my keyboards, spilled coffee on them, and the key markings wore down. i can take this thing to the sink, put some cleaner on it and scrub it; let it dry and put it back on the computer. Sometimes I get a little rise or feel a tiny bump and I think my keystrokes are infinitesimally slower, but I love this thing, and it is worth it.

I just checked the back for heat and there is NONE at all. The weight and size is the same or slightly less than the average keyboard. I love it. I am sitting here in the near dark typing this, and my normal vision is like having a pair of light sunglasses on all the time. But it is definitely not TOO bright, either. Nice ice blue color.

Yes it gets hot. Sometimes I can Pu with bare hands and other times need a hot pot mitt.

Yes there is a problem with yours. I've had mine since its issue and it never gets hot -warm at most when playing extended games or videos. I have a Surface Pro 2 now, but I keep the Portege as a very reliable backup and for occasional ripping or burning (no pun intended) of CDs.

Mine gets really hot, that has never been a problem. It actually gets hotter that I had anticipated.

Seems quite well bulit to me, the only issue i can forsee is the extender bar for your wrists at the bottom may become worn/break if you adjust it alot, i just dont use it so i dont have an issue and its still comfortable. Ive owned it for quite awhile (cant recall exact date, not sure if my review is dated) 6+ months. Great durability, all lights working, all functions working. I use this keyboard daily for gaming and school work, so it gets quite a workout. If you're debating on which keyboard you want, i suggest this one 100%! Great customizability, durability, and functionality for the price.

I've had mine now for several months and haven't seen much on this. I did notice in the upper corner a slight burn but odd as it is, it went away. So my screen is perfectly fine. However, I only use mine for my studies in Grad school so usually only have up email, word docs, PDFs, etc. Nothing to intensive on the screen, plus it is set to hibernate every ten minutes off activity. Hope this helps, a lot of this will depend on your usage, how you have the screen settings etc.

I don't find it to be hot at all. I have sat for hours with it on my lap. Not at all hot compared to my past HP's. The heat vents on the right sideand it never gets really hot besides it keeps my coffee warm.

Hey there Ms Amanda Well I actually bought that steering wheel cover for my lil brother as birthday gift. I can not answer this question based off of my own experience BUT I called my lil brother and he said even when his car is sitting directly in the sun the steering wheel never too hot to touch just a lil warm. So all in all I say this is a great buy for the price. I hope this answered helped. :-)

actually one of the things i love about this laptop i the cooling feature. When gaming, it gets, warm. When just using it to go on the web, it spits out cold air. like if i left it on right now, it would be some good air conditioning.

not the grip really. With long periods of use it does get hot but it is a radient heat from the tip. the grip and handle stay cool as in they will not burn you but the hand you are holding it will get warm.- I hope that helps.

No it is actually wonderful to type on! It's very soft and fits perfect over the keys. :) I love mine!! I have it in 5 colors

Yeah it's not the snuggiest I've ever seen. It's more comfortable on the keys in the upper part of the keyboard. The small keys, the arrow keys are not snug at all

how hot is hot? i dont think heat would affect the reader but heat is bad for electronics all together i dont know for sure but id say 100 degrees an under i think you would have more difficult time in cold before heat hope this helps did you try tech support at barska? im sure they have tested this in all situations i havent had any problems with mine as long as you keep the reader glass clean oily skin affects the reading otherwise it works everytime for me

Do you mean the heat? It is pretty good! I love it. As a matter of fact, some times, it gets too hot and I turn it to low. Good buy, so far!
