Yes. The VAIO looks like it is designed to keep the battery away from the heat, unlike other notebooks i have used in the past. The processor seems to be toward the front of the vaio, while the battery is at the very back and in more of a strip shape, rather than a block to keep it even further...
Ok.. cool.. then I guess I'll have to ignore it. To be honest this thread is more use that Sony's support. All the do is get some guy in India to copy and paste sections from the documentaion, which is absolutely worthless!!! I am incredibly frustrated with them! Thank you very much. ;)
