That's not a new problem.  The thermal design of the AST Ascentia P 
series notebooks assumed that the display would always be on when the 
machine was in use; we had several people at a prior employer who 
disregarded this and ran theirs with the lid closed, connected to 
external monitors, and cooked the LCDs.
