The reader's report on MacNN that it's "uncomfortably hot" with a "serious issue with heat transmission" must come from someone with a way low thermostat. For me, as I type this, with it setting on bare legs, heat's just not an issue. Left side over the HD is warm but not hot. When my coffee cools to the same temp I'll ditch it for a fresh cup.
