Notably it never overheats... unless it's docked. Then it's liable to overheat, because the circulation while being docked is, I guess, pretty bad? Unfortunately, I am docked pretty much all the time! Do you use a dock regularly, out of curiosity? It could be that it's time to open up and de-dustrabbit :) - Chris
