[QUOTE="jbf, post: 905787, member: 120626"] Hi there This is definitely a heat issue. I have an Air for 18 months now and have been having this issue since the beginning, whenever it is really hot in the room or when I use lots of CPU, when watching youtube videos for instance. I have found a solution that works really well, even if it is hard to set it up when you are on the move. I have 3 ice packs in the freezer and put one under the Air when I watch a hd movie or play a game. This works really well. Of course it s a bit of a do it yourself, but it s inexpensive and efficient. I put a towel under the ice pack to avoid condensation. The other good point is that because of the aluminium body the keyboard becomes really cool, and your hands as well ;D [/QUOTE]
