[QUOTE="PunkRockTuba, post: 219340, member: 11201"] The original article is found here: [url]http://www.tuaw.com/2006/06/05/support-doc-macbook-may-run-warm-because-rear-vent-is-blocked/[/url] First Engadget reported it, and now there's an official Apple Support document explaining the issue: some MacBooks (and Pros) are apparently making it out of the factory with a thin piece of clear plastic blocking covering the rear vent. The article states the obvious: that this plastic is used to protect the notebook from dust while in the factory. So if it looks like you're starting to get a tan from using your MacBook on your lap too often (which Apple doesn't recommend anyway), you might want to check that rear exhaust vent for any clear, plastic blockage. I dont really think this will solve most of the heating issues, but it might solve some. So hopefully if anybody here is having some heat issues, this helps. [/QUOTE]
