[QUOTE="osxx, post: 1006859, member: 46331"] I read this in disbelief aluminum dissipates heat very well in fact it is why the auto and motorcycle industry has wide use of the material, plastics and its associated families are insulators therefore creating a barrier just because you can't feel the heat on the bottom of a plastic laptop does not mean its not hot. A program to monitor your cpu and heat sink among other areas would be better at judging internal temperatures such as istat pro. You might ask a few that owned previous MBP's but the unibody runs a lot cooler than the older design or that has been my experience currently my base is at 85℉. [/QUOTE]
