Does it not even switch on while connected to the power supply (as opposed to running solely off the battery)? Any chance your battery was subject to the recent Dell battery recall?Over the last few months, it seems hotter than normal, and the battery life has fallen way off. Then 2 days ago, it won't turn on.
Not sure what you mean by "uncomfortably". If you mean it causes you concern, then no, it shouldn't get so hot and worth checking out (lots of utilities out there that monitor and provide details on the current temp of the pc - I know I have one (came as part of some other system monitor I downloaded) but can't think of the name offhand, I can have a look this eveing if it might help. Think my own laptop usually runs around 40C [not sure if that's high or not in relative terms] if that helps).I recently bought a Dell laptop for about 1400 lids...it was after all that battery recall stuff. It gets really hot though when I use it, uncomfortably so in fact. Is this normal or the sign of an imminent neutering for me?!

If you mean it makes your legs hot (etc.)... it shouldn't really be there. While the name "laptop" does suggest it, correct use should really be with the notebook/laptop placed on a table/hard surface. If you have it on your lap/couch/etc. then you could possibly be blocking the fan. Many modern laptops will become warm/hot if used on a surface which doesn't provide adequate clearance for the base of the unit.
