HP Pavilion G60-120US Does it get hot easily? How is battey life when not being used?

Just bought this computer this week..and so psyched about it....I have had this computer running all day at work (about 10 hours) and then at home (all night). Battery life when fully charged is about 6 hours....you can put it in a power saving mode when not actually using it. Surprisingly cool....I use it on my lap at home and no burns. I must warn you though, the charger needs ventilation. At work it was not hot, just warm....mainly because it was on the floor and heat was able to dissipate off of it.....but at home on the couch with me on it.....OUCH.....really hot.....so just place it where heat can dissipate....rather than trapped in between the sofa cushions and your body......Also, if you plan on using any movie making software...do NOT buy Pinnacle.....you will have issues with it on this laptop....not the laptop's fault...bad software.... :/
