does this overheat the device badly?

I cut my lawn yesterday, where it was 101 degrees outside. Didn't have an issue with it overheating.

No. I have not had any issue with the device overheating and I run with it in 100+ degree temps.

No, I have had mine pluged in ever since I got it. No problems at all, overheating isnt a problem, it also seems to be able to take a decent amount of punishment. I had droped mine right when I opened it. No problems even after that.

No. I have had this unit for almost two years. It has performed as expected and I have not noticed any excessive heat.

The real answer: Nothing to worry about if the current draw of the device is less than the maximum output of the battery. However, if the current draw of the device is GREATER than the battery's maximum output current, you will possibly experience the battery overheating and/or experience a thermal runaway.

I have not had any issues with overheating. This is my 2nd Acer computer. The first I retired after 8 years mainly because it is much larger and heavier. If you are careful about where you use your computer you should be fine. What I mean by that is the computer needs air flow all around it. Not good to sit it on a pillow or blanket. Your lap is good or of course a table. I build and repair computers as a home business. This is were I have learned these details.

In terms of the PCB and the physical chip itself and its performance potential? No. I don't think so. However the only obvious difference I see is in the heat sync/fans and after owning mine for almost a year now I can say I've never had problems with mine overheating.

No overheating here. I use it to charge tablets and my 10,000 Mah anker astro. Works perfectly.

Yes I have. Mine gets hot enough that it is uncomfortable to hold. I reboot it when that happens and it seems to cure the problem for a while

I haven't really used it for any length of time and it was some time ago but I don't think overheating is a problem. The biggest problem with R-Pi is that you have to use a good USB power for it and if you plan to use several USB devices you have to get an externally powered USB hub or you will run into problems.

Not me. My macbook gets a little hot when I'm watching a movie and have it on the charger at the same time but that's to be expected. Other than that, no overheating whatsoever

I have used it for many hours at a time and have never noticed it heating up beyond warm. I do not see overheating as a problem.

I have not had an issue with this unit overheating. I have taken it from NYC to London, to Sri Lanka to Malaysia, and no problems. It works fine and charges my phone over and over again before having to recharge the Universal External Unit.

Have not had a problem with overheating. The portion of the case that attaches to the base of the computer has a gap built in to allow for venting on the sides.

No, it does not get hot. I have never had it overheat or even get warm to the touch.

Mine does not. I use it frequently with various devices and it has never got hot. Even when I have left something charging overnight.

I have had this plugged in for both an iPad and an iPhone at the same time over night and have never noticed a heat problem. Hope this helps. I use it all the time.
