Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Although the Spectre does become warm, it doesn't exceed it's design limitations. With the new (2016) model, the heat issue is less than it used to be. Everything else about this device is so outstanding that the minor heating is a small price to pay. It can't be beat (unless you have $2000 for a new Surface Book). Hope this helps.
