I can't seem to find any pictures I'm sure are the sides of this laptop to look for vents. Do you have any problems with overheating?

There is a vent on the left side, and it can get warm when running heavy applications, but it doesn't overheat on the bottom or top. A good computer will get warm when running applications. When surfing, it stays pretty cool. It's much better than an HP or Compaq I have.

I don't have any problem with overheating, it just more heavy than regular laptop.

I havent had that problem so far at least. There is a big vent on the left side and little ones on the bottom (covering the fan etc I believe). I don't know if this will let me upload a picture. I turn this off a lot more than I did my pc though, just because it starts again pretty instantly.

the vents are on the sides. the entire back exposes the cooling panel. I don't know why others say it is vented on the back

YES, If was able to post pics I would. It has heatsinks that go to the CPU and to the GPU and both are interconnected and each heatsink comes out to a fan for a total of two fans. After removing bottom cover it would be very easy to clean any dust out of the fans unlike my last ASUS (careful do not let fingers slide on bottom cover edge as pop it off after screws are out, I sliced the crap out of my finger, lol) I have removed the bottom cover with a T5 Torx bit to check a few things (will be taking the HD out for an SSD, adding another 8GB stick of RAM and mailing my keyboard out at some point for blue back-lighting to be added to the keyboard).

I got the same thing. Didn't know it actually fit until I saw your question. while the leg seems to be in the middle of the laptop, it may actually help with heat reduction. Seeing how this works...

Robert, I have no problem with overheating. The ventilation holes seem adequate, but that's just for me. I hope this helps.

I didn't provide any pictures. However, the laptop is exactly as described--brand new--with Windows 7. No regrets.

The fan blows up at the laptop. In my case it doesn't blow "into" it, as there are no air intake vents on the underside - but my laptop has metal underneath the plastic across the entire bottom of the laptop, presumably to spread the heat, and this helps dissipate that quite well.

It is a hard cover, but mine has a few spots where it has melted from being under a vent. I have vents to the sides of my laptop, but I also have a few smaller vents under the laptop and since I have been using this lap tray, after a while, my laptop gets so hot that I have to stop using it.

Hello. As with any cover, overheating is an inherent problem. I have this product and use it when traveling. At home, I remove the cover to allow heat dissipation of the laptop.

I have not had any issues with the laptop getting too warm to sit on my lap. I rarely use it that way because I find that too uncomfortable for long term use but the unit seems to remain relatively cool even when used for long periods of time. Hope that helps.

Nothing significant. When it comes to heat, there's nothing to worry about unless it is slowing down when it gets hot. There have been times where the laptop has felt slightly hot, but nothing slowed down and it wasn't uncomfortable, so I didn't worry about it. Cooling pads are cheap if you think it'll be an issue. This has been a great laptop for me though.

yes. I got it for my son. he loves it. Keeps the laptop cooled off so it doesn't overheat.

Mine went into a desktop i.e. a place with plenty of room for the heat-sink and fan for ventilation and cooling. Not having built a laptop, I don't know if the cpu makers provide special/different cpu's for laptop use ... or if the laptop makers simply design their own ventilation approaches. My guess is that latter.

This pc has HUGE fans, I have it sitting right next to me on my desk, I haven't noticed any heat coming from it. It has vents as well. I am a hobby photographer and serious digital scrapbooker, I haven't been able to slow it down yet. I LOVE this machine.

I've had mine for about 6 months. The 2 fans blow directly up onto laptop and you can feel, depending on speed, the air dispersed to sides. Blue lights are quite bright. The remind me of the underlights on cars these days. ; p I keep mine on low speed and adjust the height/ angle on the very 1st "rung". I don't game but I do turn it up when grandchildren come over and use it. I have a Presario notebook. It does get very warm which is why I purchased this. If it did breakdown I would get another just like it in a flat second. Cleaning?. I havent tried to take it apart. I blow it out while running on low with canned air. Hope this helps.

My computer has never overheated while in this case; however, it does get fairly hot sometimes. I'd say that it gets just as hot as it normally does when I am working on my computer. Usually when I work on my computer, the bottom of my laptop is on a blanket, a pillow in my lap, or the bed anyway; not very airy. Gotta love those late night school assignments :)

The platform the laptop rests on is 14" x 11.5". And because there are no side or back ridges (only a front one), your laptop can overhang a little w/o problem. The bottom of the platform is all perforated so there is no problem with ventilation.
