acer laptop asphire 5  a515-51-54x  has chemical smell,  when running.    Ist I thought was bad out gassing.    The laptop is cool to touch. the bottom of the Laptop is cool too.
The smell is coming from the vents of laptop off the back.

    The smell might be from the Thermal Paste. They have a chemical odour to them which is distinct. It is okay to ignore the smell if it is hot but if you feel any smoke or anything of that sort, get that checked m8.
