hey noticed something else too. my laptop went from 84% to 77% in about 45mins. is this how standby works on a sony? My dell standby would last all day easy.

My S360P can stand by all day too. There must be something wrong with S460, or your particular laptop. Are you sure it enters standby state? I got some problem with it lately (ACPI driver). I notice something too, if you plugin while in standby state (or unplug it), the computer goes into hibernate state. Weird hah

Its in standby. the power light flashes. not plugged in. the unit stays warm and battery drops fast(for standby). Hybernate can last weeks, standby should last days, but the way standby on this sony is lasting. its probably kill over in a day.

On my s360, standby lasts a few days. I even kept in a bag for about 48hrs straight when I forgot to shutdown and it still had plenty of battery life and was cool to the touch.

anybody? Well with a s460? I called Sony and this is the first time they heard of this. I refuse to believe that. But they said its not right and to return it. So on friday I may do that.

i called sony support on the s460 i bought and it was the first time they had heard of the heat issue as well, and one other thing when i brought it back to swap out with the s360 there was a 460 on display and it had a very warm right palmrest as well,, all support could tell me me is that it was the location of the harddrive, ,i never looked that far into it to confirm it though,
IMO return it and get the s360,,

warm palmrest I can live with. its the 5400rpm harddrive. But unit not going into a good standby might be dangerous.
