# Heat

## Pen tablets

Pen tablets stay at ambient room temperature. They do not get hot or even warm.

<mark style="color:red;">**If your pen tablet or its cabling gets noticeably warm or hot. Disconnect it and contact support immediately.**</mark>

## Pen displays

Pen displays either stay at room temperature or get very slightly warm, maybe close to human body temperature.

* You may find that the amount of heat is correlated with the brightness setting.
* You may find that the heat is localized in certain regions on the tablet. This is normal for pen displays. You will often notice that the heat is near the ports.

## Cooling fans

To manage heat, a few displays have built-in cooling fans. This tends to be a feature found in certain Wacom pen displays.

## Pen computers

These are essentially laptops. So, in theory, they can get warmer than pen tablets and pen displays, which is normal for laptops. Your experience may vary depending on what you are doing.
