Answer:

My HP gets super hot too on the underneath, I bought a chill pad, with 2 fans, helps so much. I got my MOM a Toshiba sattlelight and hers barely gets warm, if it's smelling or too hot to touch, you might have a fan problem and it might need to be repaired. You can get the chillpads or laptop fan pads at walmart or Target or bestbuy.

Never use a lap top on a soft surface like pillows or bedding it can block the cooling vents it is also a surface that does not dissipate heat well. Use a can of compressed air and blow out the cooling vents to clean out any build up of dust/lint. Buy and use a lap top cooling pad with built in fans that connect to a USB port. I use the Targus and GearHead lap top cooling pad and never use one of my lap tops with out a cooling pad.
