[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1554811, member: 56379"] There is no insulation that is purposely placed between the keyboard & the rest of the computer to keep the keyboard cool. The keyboard certainly shouldn't get as warm/hot as the bottom of the computer. But if the bottom of the computer gets warm/hot...some of that heat is bound to warm up the rest of the computer as well (including the keyboard). The 11" MBA is only about 1" thick. The bottom of the computer cannot be 150, 160, or 170°F...and the keyboard not warm up at all. That heat has got to go somewhere.;) Again I ask where did this info come from? Unless it came from a trusted Apple document or an Apple engineer...then this is just conjecture. There is "normal warm"...and then there is "uncomfortably warm". - Nick [/QUOTE]
