Yes, the "brick" does get warm.

Make sure your laptop is propped up on pencils or something similar. The heat it generates will kill it faster.

The screen may go (very common with HPs),
or the harddrive may die (which is what happened to ours).

Our son put in a new harddrive for us so it is still plugging along.

Laptops don't live long. Enjoy it while you can. I dislike them immensely.

I'd make sure you plug into a surge protector... in case of an electrical surge during storms or emergencies.
