i know its been posted on here about 50 times, but seriously why are the macbook pros so bleedin' hot!?
Not only am i working in temperatures akin to Iraq, i am also having to keep moving my hands from the laptop to stop them sticking to the machine and peeling my skin off!
Anyone else feeling the heat from the laptop!?

there is this goop on the motherboard which is designed to transfer heat away from the board and onto the case. which because it is made of metal conducts the heat away from the board. it was designed to run hot to keep the computer cool and run better.
i have to say its annoying to have to set a magazin between me and the computer thou. too bloody hot.
also bothers me i can not tip the monitor back that far like most laptops let you.

Putting it on the table wont stop my hands and arms from getting hot...
Using shortcuts in Illy or Quark is almost like a form of chinese torture!

oh.. i didn't realize the top got as hot. that sux. making me second guess buying one

They are good, but the top on mine get's way too hot. especially as we're getting very hot weather in the Uk at the moment. It just isn't helping...
Might come in handy in the winter though!

mine does not get that hot. it's warm, but not to the point of causing physical harm. take it back or get it checked out.

Pathetic!
I use the newest ibook 12" 1.5gb ram hooked up to a 19" monitor a 9 hours a day and its never uncomfortably hot and runs like a dream. You've been had.

it's around the speakers next to the keyboard...do you seriously think it's dodgy? i've only had it a few weeks. It's always been pretty hot, i mean, i'm slightly exagerating when i say i can't actually touch it, but i'd say it's as hot as the metal bits on the chip shop that your mum always said not to touch!

i don't have a mum, nor i have i ever been to a chips shop, but mine is bearable eough to sit it on my legs with shorts on and work for an hour or two.

Mine is way too hot then. i could never sit with it on my legs for longer than a short while if wearing shorts!
Also, you really should come to the UK and go to a chippy. you get really good fish and chips in this country!

is it always that hot or just now with this extremely hot weather?
the weather could make it worse/feel worse

it might be the hot weather, it's been prett hot here since i got it. everyone in the office thinks it's way too hot though. can't believe i might have to take it back after just 2 weeks. i have all the apps on it and all my work etc, they better be able to transfer the stuff if it is 'broke'!

(Jul 27 06, 09:28)You have a warranty, right? Hopefully it won't cost you anything to transfer the info over...

if you put it on a table, or anything but your lap/couch/bed, it doesnt get hot
