I noticed that my MB book seems to get really hot underneath. I do work with it in my lap quite a bit. But since I live in New England and the weather's been cold, it wasn't bothering me. But it does get really hot, I could never have it on bare skin, e.g., if I was wearing shorts in the summer. Is that amount of heat, which seems excessive, normal?
The other thing I just noticed was when I had plugged it in the other day. I was using the short cord that only has the 2 pronged plug. When I unplugged it from the wall, it was so hot, I basically had to drop it. That just seems wrong/dangerous to me. And today, when I looked at the end that plugs into the computer, it looked a bit corroded! At first I thought maybe the finish was wearing off. Which seemed unlikely. Then I looked at the receiving port on the computer and that seemed a bit corroded, too. Which made me think about the heat on the plug end and the over all heat of the computer. And now I'm wondering what's up with this and if it's normal.
This is a brand new MB that's not quite 2 months old.
Thanks for any advice on this!
