Hi everyone,
I'm a new mac user...I've just bought a new MBA 13, with i5 processor.
I use windows pc since I was young (and still a lot...I'm a researcher in computer science), but this is my first experience with the mac world.
Now, there is something that worries me: I can see that my MBA has the CPU temperature at ~60 C, only with chrome open (no flash). Or ~75 C with only vlc open (watching a video). Or ~88 C with vlc + performing apps update from app store. Now, considering that my old laptop with i5 processor is always around 40 C...and reaches 65 only when running many applications, it seems a little to much to me.
Then I install a widget to monitor the fan (istat), and I can see that it reports "exahust 2000 rpm"...when only chomre is open (by the way, what does it mean exhaust?!?)...
Is this normal? What is your experience?
