[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1439294, member: 24098"] Aluminum just so happens to be an outstanding conductor, not just of electricity, but also heat. So, yes, it's not unusual for the bottom of an aluminum MacBook/Air/Pro to become warm, even hot - particularly in comparison to plastic notebooks (as plastic is actually somewhat of an insulator). If it bothers you, I would recommend purchasing a lap desk or notebook cooler - but no, I don't think it's abnormal. [/QUOTE]
