Overheating is a common problem for laptops. All laptops heat up with extended use, some faster than others. Many factors affect overheating including the type of processor, the laptop fan, and the ventilation. How you hold the laptop also matters. If you place it on a flat surface, the hot air can escape through the vents. But if you place it on the bed or hold it in your lap, you can easily block the vents, restricting airflow.
