I have to agree with this, I have a Z61M and I just picked mine up after being 
on for the last 3 weeks straight and it isn't much warm than the air around 
it.  I have never known one to be very warm really unless, as mentioned, it 
is under very heavy load.  Definitely call support and see about getting it 
replaced.
