HP Pavilion DV6810US 15.4" Laptop

HP Pavilion DV6810US 15.4" Laptop (AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual Core TL-60 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)

DV6810us RUNS WAY TOO HOT + DVD DRIVE NOISY!
Beware! This laptop generates a lot of heat underneath, and on the palm rest. I don't like heat too much and I bought this laptop to use to watch movies and surf the web in my bedroom. Also, the DVD drive is very noisy. Additionally, the AC adapter gets SO HOT that it would burn my children if they were to accidentally touch it. Otherwise, the display was ok and it only took me about 2 hours to downgrade to XP and get everything working. I returned it and suffered a $102 restocking fee, but I bought the Toshiba A215-S5837 and it was ~ $100 cheaper so in the end I broke even and got a much quieter and cooler running laptop.
