Laptop temperature
I don't know exactly how hot my laptop gets when I'm playing a game like Dragon Age 2 or GMod, but next to the vents it gets too hot to keep a maintained touch. I can keep my finger there for a few seconds before I have to pull away.
I've been looking into a cooling pad, but I just want to make sure if I bought one it could handle the weight of an Alienware M17x. My shoulder can barely manage the weight just getting to class...
Also, would vacuuming my vents help somewhat? After seeing Peggy on King of the Hill suck up the 1 key, I've been nervous about letting a vacuum anywhere near my laptop.
