This isn't really the right forum, and I don't have that model (I've got a dv5210us), but basically all laptops/notebooks do that. A laptop typically uses 30-40W, and converts more than 95% of it to heat. By comparison, a heating pad uses about 8W and reaches 170-180 degress Farenheit. So naturally the laptop will get very hot, and won't be too comfortable on one's lap. If the laptop has a fan, make sure the vents are not obstructed, as the forced air cooling will exhaust some of that heat into the room rather than your lap.

The probability that a laptop will get hot if insulated while running can be expressed as the integral:
/x=1 Where s= the Processor speed in hertz. (undefined at s=0) Richard P. Feynman spoke about this very issue in one of his later books. In brief, entropy is the way of the future.

Be careful of overusing those exclamation points in this Forum. Some folks don't seem to like that sort of thing. Les
