[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 383349, member: 3850"] Actually the older iBook use to get rid of a lot of heat through the keyboard area, Powerbooks, Macbooks and Macbook Pros are designed to be able to used closed. It will probably still get a bit warmer than normal though, so you might want to use a fan utility to cool it down a bit. But unless you have a specific reason for closing it you might just want to leave it open and use it as an extended display (with your external monitor being your primary display). [/QUOTE]
