[QUOTE="PowerbookG417, post: 42213"] I got a REV A albook and yes it does get toasty...not to bad...well in the summer with shorts on..your not going to want to have it directly on your lap...now in the winter..its kinda nice... Its not that your blocking the ventilation..cuase the bottom is solid metal basically...the ventilation..well on my 17 inch is powered by 2 fans which fire out the back of it where the connections use to be on the tibooks... Now of course when doing CPU intense opperations it will warm up more than none...i find the worse is when its charging..with all that extra heat you might be able to slowly cook an egg...lol I wouldnt be worried about it your going to find this issue with all laptops...your lil fan pad is going to be good..but really apple has tested these and if it was a HUGE issue they wouldnt have launched the product, or would have LOTS of services about this and would probably recall them all like the ibook logic board issue [/QUOTE]
