My MBP is extremely hot, I use it on my lap and get a heat rash on my legs. If I do normal stuff like e-mail, web browsing it runs fairly cool but when I run a game or play a DVD it burns my legs. I think it is Apple trying to squeeze too much into a tiny laptop that is causing the heat issues. I also think most of the heat comes from the X1600 graphics processor not the core duo. -Matt On Feb 15, 2007, at 3:21 PM, Ron Miller wrote: > ** The author of this post was a Good Dobee. > ** You too can help the group > ** Fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > Hi: > I purchased an MBP a couple of months ago and it has operated > flawlessly.
