Well you cant really say it does not overheat, because obviously if you leave it on a long time it most probably will. I think iv heard some reports of "overheating' but if you don't leave it on too long you shouldn't have any problems with overheating, i haven't anyway, i know it does get pretty hot but that's normal.

Supposedly, a message will pop up telling you to let the system cool off. I haven't seen it yet. There's a huge fan and some gel stuff inside to keep it from overheating too.

plus the system has a feature where if it gets too hot it will automatically shut down....but that is like right before it actually overheats....
