I've never really understood why they're called laptops.

I just did a quick test. At room temperature the CPU temperature was 78 
degrees (that's Celsius) and the fan speed was 3880 RPM. After watching 
an 8 minute YouTube video the CPU temperature rose to 92 degrees and the 
fan was running at 4494 RPM.

One thing that I haven't done is replace the thermal past on the CPU, 
however, since the heat at the vent is almost hot enough to boil water I 
don't think new paste would help.

During the time that it's taken me to write this the CPU temperature is 
65 degrees and the fan speed is 3868 RPM.
