[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1580447, member: 234411"] Hello and welcome to the forum. First, I would suggest obtaining [URL="http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/"]iStat Menus[/URL] which monitors many features of your computer, including the temperature(s) & the dual fan speeds; second, I would strongly encourage you not to use the computer in bed if the machine is on top of covers - the vents on my spring 2013 MBPro are on the lower back and sides and can easily be obstructed. If you must used the computer in bed, then consider buying a computer cooling pad that will keep the vents open; there are plenty of designs, e.g. checkout this [URL="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_20?url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=computer+cooling+pad&sprefix=computer+cooling+pad%2Ccomputers%2C148&rh=n%3A541966%2Ck%3Acomputer+cooling+pad&tag=macforums0e4-20"]Amazon Link[/URL] - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
