We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the
world for answers, here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask
Engadget question is coming to us from Stephen, who frankly isn't
interested in suffering from health issues due to insanely hot laptops
baking his body. If you're looking to send in an inquiry of your own,
drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.
"Real simple: what is the best laptop that doesn't burn you? That is
to say, which is the most powerful mainstream laptop (14- or 15-inch)
that runs cool when it's actually doing something. I'm running a Dell
Studio 1537 and both palmrests are warm even though all I am doing is
typing this email and streaming Slacker with the LCD brightness on
it's lowest setting. Therefore the WiFi card is cooking and so
apparently is the hard drive (even though the processor is only at 12
percent). Help!"
Man, we can't wait to see the answers to this. No, seriously -- we're
pretty sure everyone in the world wants in on this secret. Every 14- /
15-inch laptop that we've ever used here (Mac and PC, both) has
eventually become uncomfortably warm after extended use, and we've
personally resorted to keeping a stockpile of pillows around just to
guard ourselves. Drop the world a better solution down below if you
have one. And by "one," we mean "a laptop model."
