[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 821287, member: 24098"] It doesn't void the warranty because it doesn't do any damage. It will very likely contribute to shorter service life, however. It's akin to constantly doing deep drains on the battery before recharging. The battery will likely not last as long as one that has only been partially drained or is kept fully charged. But if you're like many MacBook Pro owners, you probably find the machine to run uncomfortably warm. I haven't had that problem with either my 1st generation machine or my 4th. But I still wouldn't recommend running the fans at full speed constantly over using a notebook cooling pad. [/QUOTE]
