I remember going to a Sony store and testing out one of their VAIO laptops. When I felt the bottom of the laptop, I was thinking "wow, that is not hot at all." I figured since it stays on all day for display in the store it should have been hot. So I look at the specs and seeing that it had a solid state disk hard drive. I was so convinced that an SSD would lower my blazingly hot HP dv4-1120us laptop, that I went out and bought one right away. To my disappointment I've found that a 60GB OCZ Vertex SSD did not give me the results I wanted. The temp has only dropped slightly, but still remains uncomfortably hot while on my lap after running for 15 minutes. There also wasn't much increase in speed/startup time either using Windows 7 RC1.
What it comes down to what I'm asking is, was the SSD at the Sony store only cool to the touch because the display laptop was idling the whole day? Like if I were only to leave my laptop idle would I achieve these low temps I once dreamed of having?
