Alright I'm a first time MBP owner so I don't really know how how these things can get. I bought one of the new 15" SR Macbook pros about a week ago and have been having some issues.
Once in a while, this thing will get HOT. It's usually while doing non-stressful things such as surfing the internet or even just chatting using adium. However, last night I put it to sleep, closed the screen, and when I woke up it had gotten to be this hot WHILE SLEEPING. That kinda clued me in to something. And when I say hot, I mean hot enough to burn you if contact is made for more then a second.
It gets this hot above the keyboard area, right around the f10/f11/f12 buttons. Now normally I wouldn't be worried, but when it does get this hot it unexpectedly restarts and when it boots again gives an error message saying "the system has shut down unexpectedly." I have heard a very loud fan kick in ONCE out of the 3-4 times it's overheated, none of the other times.
My question is: Is this something I should be warrantying, and will they even do anything if I take it in? Obviously it's not good when the computer heats up enough to fail, especially when it's a week old, but I'm not even convinced they would see anything wrong.
Thanks
