How does your MacBook Pro stay cool??

i was just wandering how they keep cool as there is no fan visible underneath or anywhere as its a unibody laptop?

Hey there paulmac

Have a quick skim through the The Official "My MacBook/Air/Pro is overheating, what do I do?" Guide. thread and see if that helps you out ....

Cheers

Trust me...your Macbook Pro has a fan.

If you haven't heard it running...then you haven't been doing anything demanding yet.

There are fans insides. I think you are noticing that there aren't any traditional vent holes on the unibody design. As Nick has mentioned try doing something demanding and you will hear the fans. Apple seems to like a quiet computer so the fans only come on when absolutely necessary. Sometimes this means the laptop can get a little too warm to the touch but it's perfectly safe for the computer.

Also, the ENTIRE BODY of the computer acts as a heat dispersal unit. That's just part of the true genius of the unibody design.

The fans vent through the slot at the hinge. Make sure you keep this area of the machine clear.
