[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 694667, member: 24098"] You should consider taking it back to Apple. It really shouldn't be getting too hot so as to be uncomfortable on your lap if you're using it for non-intensive tasks. There is a known problem with some units where the thermal compound was applied in an overzealous manner, resulting in inefficient cooling. Some intrepid owners have actually removed and reapplied the compound with astounding differences in temps. [/QUOTE]
