I thought these ARM chips were supposed to be low power low heat!
Sounds like all the pentium problems I hoped to avoid. Someone else
said taking it out of it's case wouldn't be helpful as it was designed

This sounds like a wearable issue. Solutions? 
How about a pipe from a hole in the bottom of the bag, to the fan
