[QUOTE="technologist, post: 1146605, member: 4134"] Apple handles it by warranting the product for a given time (up to three years.) If damage occurs, Apple will fix it. Because Apple doesn't want to have to do warranty repairs, (they're expensive) Apple typically has its engineers do extensive thermal modeling on its computers. Apple has labs with chambers where engineers can vary temperature and humidity and monitor internal temperatures over time. Touching the case with the back of your hand just doesn't compare, really. Sure, Apple' occasionally gets it wrong. Sometimes a component manufacturer will give Apple bad specs. Sometimes a manufacturer will change specs without telling Apple. Sometimes the factory will assemble things wrong. That's why you have a warranty. On the other hand, if you take matters into your own hands, you are on your own. Apple is not responsible for warranty repairs if you override its temperature settings. [/QUOTE]
