I have a 720 but it never got so hot to melt any of the rubber off. I must admit that it can get uncomfortablely warm when I have it in my lap for long periods of time (> 1 hr.). I've had the TP for about 1.5 years and have used it on a daily basis for long periods of time without any 'melting' problems. What I've noticed is that the majority of the heat seems to be generated from the battery when recharging. If the battery is not charging, the unit is relatively cooler (that is minimal heat is produced). Mauro On Sun, 22 Jan 1995, jesse montrose wrote: > I'm on my second thinkpad, a 755cs (from a 720).
