Before I start, this is not a "My surface pro gets hot when doing such and such...", the Surface Pros will get hot doing damn near to anything more than displaying the desktop, this is more of a "what issues it causes me when it's hot" thread.
Well, this is actually a 'problem' i have with my Surface Pro 2, though im sure it is universal among all surface pro and RT devices also. It's a simple complaint, caused by the fact that the whole computer is crammed into one part, located right behind the screen (basically the fundamental principle of a tablet, yeah) but usually tablets dont get particularity hot, don't require a fan, etc.
But when the surface pros get hot, it can be very irritating as the heat sinks straight through to the screen. Now, having a hot computer is one thing, but using a hot touchscreen is a whole other issue. It's just plain uncomfortable. Something I'm sure is near enough impossible to prevent, but it still does ruin my experience with the touchscreen (and mainly the pen) as when taking notes i obviously have to rest my palm on the screen. But resting my palm on a hot surface is going to be uncomfortable, especially over long periods of time, causing my hands to sweat, which is also irritating considering its a screen which is affected by moisture oppose to paper where it is less so an issue.
Anyway, anyone find this also an irritating thing? The heat of the surface pro 2 is actually my biggest gripe with it... it just makes it uncomfortable to use, mainly as a tablet anyway. I've heard the Surface Pro 3 has heat issues as well, I can't imagine how using the touchscreen with an i7 surface pro 3 with heat issues would be.....
