I've had this laptop for a really long time, and it's getting hot where |
| 9 |
I normally rest my right wrist while typing. I would have noticed this |
| 10 |
shortly after I bought it way back when. When it heats up, I cannot rest |
| 11 |
my wrist for more than a few seconds, that's not normal for this old beast. |

I tend to use my laptop when it's updating and I've only noticed this |
| 14 |
the last couple of times updating. |

It may be different now that I've reapplied the thermal paste to the |
| 17 |
northbridge & CPU. I've also picked up one of those cooling pads just in |
| 18 |
case. I've set it up now to see if it makes any difference. I'll leave |
| 19 |
the laptop running |
