Using a lap top...on your lap?
Im working from home today and a little displaced due to the house being painted. I am working on my bed with the lap top on my lap and the fan just came on...is this bad...will the computer over heat?

I always use it on my lap, it never overheats. Just be careful on your bed though that you are not blocking the vents.

Re: Using a lap top...on your lap?
my laptop is on my lap 10 hrs a day almost. Sometimes it gets hot, so I put it on a pillow on my lap, but it has never overheated in like 5 yrs. (knock on wood).

Just keep the vents clear and you'll be fine.

You'll be fine. You might want to consider a targus chill pad if you're going to have it on your lap a lot.

Re: Using a lap top...on your lap?
It's better to have it on a hard surface, instead of a pillow. The pillow blocks any bottom vents, and insulated the heat. If you have a board, or book or something, it will keep it cooler.

Re: Using a lap top...on your lap?
For some reason my laptop never gets hot when it's on my lap.
You should be fine as long as the fan isn't covered.

Re: Using a lap top...on your lap?
The fan on my Dell laptop always gets going and the bottom gets hot. My IBM laptop randomly gets hot but the fans never come on. I don't even know if it has a fan. You should be fine though

If it happens often try some compressed air on the fan. If that doesn't work get the fan cleaned by a professional.

Thanks for all the responses!!
I have it on my lap and I put it on a hard tray when I leave the room.
It doesn't really feel hot I just heard the fan kick on.
