[QUOTE="Ninjab3ar, post: 349321, member: 26041"] If you put your computer on your lap, it tends to get hot. So does your power adapter if you place it somewhere that holds heat, like on a bed or couch, etc. Even though it tends to get warm when you plug it directly into the outlet as well. As for the laptops heat, you can download an ap called "smcfancontrol". This program lets you raise the minimum fan speed and cools down your computer. I tend to set it at 2500 rpm -the default speed of Core 2 Duo Macs- and it doesnt run hot. (download here: [url]http://81.169.182.62/~eidac/software/page5/page5.html[/url]) [/QUOTE]
