HP Recommended
Product: hP ZBook Create i7
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

While sitting on my side table, plugged into power, with the lid closed and no programs open It starting making a very load fan noise. When I unplugged the Zbook and picked it up it was extremely hot! Hotter than any Mac or PC laptop I've ever owned. It was getting almost too hot to hold so I opened whelp top and tried scan in but it was sluggish and non responsive. I finally got in and shut the power off. It immediately stopped all fan noise and was noticeably cooling down. This is a terrifying problem if I can not leave my lap top alone in my study without the threat of runaway overheating and possible fire. Like I said the unit is brand new and I have only loaded three programs on it.

Is this  a defective unit? Is it fixable?  Thanks Tom
