Like others have said its normal for the outside to feel hot, because that means the fan and cooling system are doing their job, the inner hardware itself it nowhere near as hot as the outside case feels. That heat your feeling is whats being sucked out of the interior of the system.

normal? any way. i thouhgt the slims where quite and ran more on the cooler side?

They're certainly cooler than the original model. But like the slimmer PS3s, they can heat up pretty good. |
that suprises me slightly

This is a chart from the September issue of OXM showing the differences between the three chipsets that the 360 uses. For those who don't know, Xenon was the original chipset, Jasper was the first revision, and the Vahalla is what is currently used in the 360S.
The test were done with the 360 sitting horizontally. The temperatures given are internal readings except for the exhaust temperature. As the chart shows the new 360 uses 15-20 % less power than the Jasper's and runs about 15 degrees cooler on average.
