Yes that is true. My laptop started shutting down with a "Terminal overexposure" message every time is on longer than an hour, a year after I bought it. I run OpenBSD, but a friend of mine has exactly the same laptop always running Windows and has the same problem. Need to keep a book under it, there by giving the heat more change to escape. Now I can still use it, longer than 30 minutes. To use it really on my lap, is impossible, both my lap and the top will burn ;) - ls
