My laptop is getting heated up!

have you tried a cooling fan? does it help with your laptop when you are using it? i have an asus too and it gets hot too on the palm rest area but it is not often, and when i am in an air conditioned room... it does not heat up as much as it would when i am not in the room. Have you checked if your fan is working already?

Put it in a place where the sun is not so intense. Or this will kinda make it look ugly but put some heat tape on it

Well from what I can guess the vents on the bottom are being blocked you could also see if you can turn the fans up to keep the machine cooler. The big thing is that it is likely a vent is blocked up. Also what are you doing? Are you doing something that is CPU or GPU intensive. As if you are doing these things with a blocked vent the machine will get hot. Also as the machine is made of Aluminium it will pick up on the heat of the sun hitting it or being in an area of direct sunlight.

First of all, if you are in a warm work environment, you must make sure that you do not overclock your laptop but if you cannot help it for personal reasons then take the necessary precautions. 1. Never work on your bed without a hard surface like a serving table. A lot of overheating incidents have happened where the soft sheets actually did more harm to the laptop where it has known to block the air vents. 2. Good ventilation Your workplace should be away from direct sunlight and well ventilated. It would help if your work is near the window to have a curtain or shades and table fan if possible. 3. Laptop fan (see picture) I find this gadget quite useful irregardless of which warm environment I am in, I can be assured that my laptop will not have heating problems. Very convenient and cheap too. It uses USB for power and you can bring it with you wherever you go.

Hi, If all things are normal like heat vents and inside fans on the laptop working as they should, there is no other alternative but to beat the summer heat by going to a cooler place like under a tree with the fresh breeze from the sea or the lake. You may consider sealing your room and installing an air conditioning system to cool down the ambient temperature. Summer heat can really get on our nerves and on the inner workings of a computer.

a laptop table or a laptop fan will do the suffice...
