as the community, unfortunately I have experienced an issue I have been
unable to resolve. I installed 13.10 on a newly purchased laptop, HP Envy
M6, wiping of its factory Windows installation. I experienced low battery
life and overheating which I researched and found that installing and
running TLP would be a possible solution. After the installation, startup
of TLP and rebooting the laptop I was unable to see any change. Further
research showed it could be an issue with 13.10 and a older version could
resolve the issue. So I installed Elementary OS and still experienced the
problem. After installing TLP again and rebooting the machine the laptop
was unable to boot into the OS. Now the laptop doesn't have anything on it
that I need, I was able to copy off my data running the OS off a USB and
using the CLI to login.

You could use it one a laptop stand with fans... check the bios setting,
drill some holes(with great care) in the casing to help cool it
