How hot tr1mp suppose to be running at? :(  My tr1 seems to be running a bit hot! :shock:
Especially when place on my lap while in use. :shock:

From my experience with the TR, the computer does run a bit hot at times. However, this is nothing that concerns me much, especially when I have used laptops that run much hotter. The TR is a well-designed machine. As long as you don’t use the laptop in an environment that is too hot, it should be just fine. If you are still concerned about the heat generated by your computer, I suggest you try one of the ‘laptop coolers’ that was dicussed in this thread.

I think hot is too strong of a word especially if you’ve used other notebooks before. My old Sony SR7K got HOT with it’s whopping 600Mhz Pentium III processor with original speedstep. In poor ventilation situations (aka using it on a bed) that thing could get extremely uncomfortable to hold. The same goes for my old Compaq Armada M700 with a 750Mhz Pentium III…which was really hot the one time it woke itself up from hibernation while in my bag.

So, I’d classify the TR as a warm notebook compared to others. :wink:

Agree. I’ve had several notebooks over the years, the TR is by far the ‘coolest’ of the bunch…my IBM was the worst.

I’ll throw in my voice of agreement as well; My TR1 is cooler than any laptop I’ve owned (Sony SR, Acer, Dell, IPC).

I think my TR must have a few problems as well…my old Dell Inspiron 8600, P3 550Mhz, ran much cooler than my TR has been running elevate it slightly from my desk…  :?

I have to agree with the guys above; the TR is the coolest ( not to mention the k00lest ) laptop I’ve ever owned. I don’t think mine has hardly ever gotten hot enough to “fry eggs” on ( laptop myth—back then, they used to say laptops get hot enough, you could practicially use it to fry some eggs for breakfast! Imagine that; a web-browser, word-processor, e-mail-device, game-machine, and oven built all in one system!!! ). 

Maybe I’m just used to owning laptops that omit more heat, but whatever it is, I’m sure your heating problem shouldn’t be anything to worry about unless your cooling system is shot or not functioning properly. Just my .02
