Wired News: Laptops Are Hot; Maybe Too Hot
Wired News: Laptops Are Hot; Maybe Too Hot: "t may be hard to fry an egg on a new laptop today, but notebook surface temperatures remain too hot for many users -- and the situation could get worse.

Contemporary laptops are generally cooler than their predecessors. In IBM's case, what it calls the maximum 'skin temperature,' or surface temperature, is 45 degrees Celsius (113 Fahrenheit), which is considered an optimal threshold in the industry. However, laptop makers increasingly struggle to accommodate components that are more powerful and, consequently, hotter."
