When the computer is running or charging, heat is produced inside the QBOOK and
transferred to the back of the chassis by the heat dissipation system for cooling. The
transformer may also produce a lot of heat during normal use as well. The QBOOK
and its transformer should therefore not be placed in the lap or on any other body part
for prolonged periods during use. Also avoid placing the QBOOK on a soft surface
(e.g. sofa) as it might block the heat vents and interfere with cooling.
