Late getting back to you, any high end laptop will be pushing a lot of heat, I like the ASUS design, both working on it and in use. Exhaust is pushed out the rear instead of the side, and it has quite good cooling. It is however a bit thicker than some other models.
Well, the Blade seems to be the only exeption to this rule so far.... but sadly you gotta pay a $1400 premium for that lol.
