MacBook may run warm because rear vent is blocked

Some MacBook computers may appear to be running too warm, with the fan running consistently and heat emanating from the top and/or the bottom of the computer.

If this happens with your MacBook, check the rear vent of the MacBook to make sure it's not blocked.

Some MacBooks may have left the factory with a thin piece of clear plastic covering the rear vent. This is used in the factory to prevent dust from getting into your computer. If your MacBook has the plastic still over the vent, simply remove and discard it.

If your MacBook does not have the thin piece of clear plastic over the vent but is running warm, see article 30612, "Apple Notebooks: Operating Temperature."

Is the plastic in or outside the case?

If it's outside, well, uhh, anyone who leaves it on doesn't really deserve a Mac

On a side note, what's up with Adobe & MS with regards to PDF? Strange stuff there.

uh, are you making an obtuse reference to the powerbook 5300? that was sony's fault, and apple's own qa testing caught the problem before customers did.

if you're referring to the Macbook Pro, on the other hand, i think that's people just being overly sensitive. metal case + modern chip = teh hotness quite literally. apple doesn't have a special release clause from physics.
