[QUOTE="PReinie, post: 1461967, member: 279252"] [b]And if ignoring it burns your leg/lap/hand?[/b] I was watching an ESPN video (live) and my MacBook got so hot I thought I'd burn my leg (lap) or hand, on the left side. Now granted maybe the MacBook (Intel, duo-core, 2+gigHz processor, with 8G RAM, running on battery as I was watching, and now as I write this) can handle the heat, but personal injury? Shouldn't the fans turn on earlier to keep the extra 6Gig from melting itself (not the 6Gig, the book)? Since I stopped watching the video (face it, graphic displays take power) my book has cooled easily. I'm also down to 37% battery, so have to shut down. [/QUOTE]
